In the near future, aspiring actors may need to pick up a few Bollywood dance moves. It's not just to star in any sequel to The Love Guru. The powerful inroads that Bollywood is making with Hollywood's stars, key players, and financial matters is showing signs that Hollywood may be increasingly influenced by India's ever-expanding film industry.

For instance, Indian conglomerate Reliance Entertainment has recently signed production deals with Hollywood stars such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Nicholas Cage, and Jim Carey, plus directors like Jay Roach and Chris Columbus.

This past week it was announced that the company is also negotiating a deal with Steven Spielberg and David Geffen.

What's more is Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger are set to become the first U.S. actors to star in a Bollywood movie, Incredible Love. The film will also feature Bollywood stars Ashkay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor.
