An Indian in Superman Returns!
June 28, 2006
Kal Penn

Even as Indian films are gaining positive recognition in the international market, Indian artistes and artistes of Indian descent are garnering in quite a few projects. A recent case in point is that of Kal Penn – an Indian origin Hollywood actor, who is acting in films like Superman Returns and the Namesake.

Kal Penn is also known as Kalpen Modi, and has been born and brought up in the US.

In Superman Returns, he plays the role of a bad guy! "Of the three or four bad guys in the film, I am one of them," says Penn.

For an actor of Penn's caliber, who has had quite a tough time trying to make a mark in the industry (despite being Indian), it is quite an achievement to be acting alongside veterans like Brandon Routh and Kevin Spacey. On the Indian front, Namesake is the film Penn is a part of (in fact, he plays the role of Gogol, one of the main characters of the book by Jhumpa Lahiri), and the actors he is going to share screen space with are Tabu and Irrfan. The film is slated for a November release.
