Vidhu goes to America!

Filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra has gone to the US on a three-month break from Bollywood, and is seeking to break new ground in Hollywood with his first English film Broken Horses.
���It���s a violent film set in Mexico, the likes of which I haven���t made since Khamosh and Parinda,��� revealed Chopra to BT before leaving. ���Here I am respected and recognised, so there���s a comfort zone that I���m leaving behind, I���ll have to start all over again and that takes courage.I���ll feel like I���d felt when I just stepped out of film institute,��� he added.
According to Chopra, the scariest part (and challenge) of venturing into international cinema is that his work will be compared with the masters of cinema. ���To make cinema that���ll get me acknowledgement on that level, that���s scary, but then what���s life without striving,��� asked the filmmaker. And he���s upto the challenges, he���s excited about getting a thumbs up for his very first draft from noted author and screenwriter Nicholas Pileggi ��� who���s considered a guru by top Hollywood filmmakers like Martin Scorcese.
Back home, Chopra���s helming four projects: he���s co-writing the Aamir Khan film Idiot, Sanjay Dutt���s Talisman and Ferrari Ki Sawaari, and he���s also a consultant on Munnabhai Chale Amerika. While his films boast of some of the best names the industry has to offer, Chopra admitted he���s not starbound. ���I love stars, but I will never write my films or draw characters keeping them in mind,��� said the filmmaker whose incomplete dream was to have directed Marlon Brando.
