Film 'Lion' actor Dev Patel better known for his role in Slumdog Millionaire believes that global entertainment map is more diverse now and it is inspiring to see Indian stars like Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra make a mark in Hollywood.

In an interview, "It's really changing. I am really inspired by what Deepika and Priyanka are doing. To be able to command an industry already and then have the courage to cross the field and take on a new challenge, is amazing. The more Indians are represented on the international stage, the better. For a Gujarati boy who was born in London, this is all good,"

Dev said. The actor thinks Bollywood has some great actors, "I have been offered one or two movies (in Bollywood) but I am waiting for the right one. With all due respect, it is a very different kind of art form and there are wonderful actors who can cater to that market a lot better than I can.I am just trying to stick to my lane, let me put it that way. We all have such complex stories to tell. Actors like Ranbir (Kapoor), Shah Rukh, Aamir and me, we are all telling our stories on different platforms."

In India, film Lion which is directed by Garth Davis with starring Nicole Kidman and Rooney Mara will release on February 24.
