Eternals’ actor Harish Patel decrypts star culture in Hollywood

Veteran Indian actor Harish Patel got a chance to work with some of the finest names in Hollywood, such as Angelina Jolie, Kumail Nanjiani and Gemma Chan, among many others, in the upcoming superhero film Eternals and he cannot believe his stars! The 68-year-old, who has worked in Bollywood films such as Mohra, Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha, Kanti Shah’s cult film Gunda and Zubeidaa, has talked about the difference he has seen in the star culture on international sets as compared to Bollywood.

Harish said: “There is no star here (internationally). They are just so simple, grounded and humble. They are just thorough professionals. They don’t have it in their heads that ‘I am a star’, which I feel is there in Bollywood. Eternals, directed by Chloe Zhao, who won this year’s Best Director Oscar for Nomadland, is the 25th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and is releasing on November 5.

In the film, Harish, who plays a manager has shared screen space with all Hollywood personalities apart from Salma Hayek and Kit Harrington.

“I am almost with everyone in the scenes. Unfortunately, I do not have a scene with Salma Hayek and Kit Harrington. I am with everyone else,” he said. — IANS
