Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan say they have no Hollywood aspirations and are happy with their work in the Hindi film industry.
"If I have to choose between a Hollywood film and an Indian film I will always choose an Indian film first," said Bachchan, 72, at the trailer launch of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's debut English film 'Broken Horses'.
Bachchan's only Hollywood role came in Baz Luharmann's 'The Great Gatsby' where he had a guest appearance.
Aamir, 49, said while there were offers, something interesting is yet to come his way.
"Language has been never an issue or a problem for me. I have to get attracted to the creative material first. Yes, I have to know the language. But none of the offers were exciting," he said.
"I have a strong relationship with my country and the people of India and that is never going to break. I will always work here but if I get something good wherever in China or America or Japan then I may work but emotionally I am always here and I will work here only," he added.
