<p>There are many Indian artists who have now started working in Hollywood films and have gained immense popularity even. Initially, Indian actors were taken in Hollywood films just to play the typical Indian characters but filmmakers are now exploring more and giving these actors more author-backed roles in mainstream Hollywood films. While 2017 saw a slew of Bollywood actors making a foray into Hollywood- 2018 will, too, have these actors taking up more Hollywood projects. &nbsp;Here, have a look:<br />

<p>We miss Priyanka Chopra here but we are glad that the actress has carved her niche in Hollywood. Apart from shooting for the third season of Quantico, the actress&rsquo; second film &lsquo;A Kid Like Jake&rsquo; is all set to screen at Sundance Film Festival. The film will be releasing in first half of 2018. For Quantico&rsquo;s third season, the actress has chopped her hair. She even posted a collage on her Instagram with a caption, &ldquo;When u have a new haircut and can&rsquo;t help but constantly touch it to make sure it&rsquo;s all ok up there!! Lol @abcquantico #alexparrish season 3.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
<strong>Ali Fazal:&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>2017 saw Ali Fazal share screenspace with Dame Judi Dench in Victoria And Abdul. While the film got mixed response from the critics, Ali&rsquo;s performance was lauded. Sources close to the actor state that the actor is in talks with some other Hollywood filmmakers and will be signing a new film soon. Grapevine has it that Ali has already signed by another biopic and will soon start shooting for the same.<br />
