BREAKING INTO BOLLYWOOD
With more than 800 film productions per year, Bollywood is one of the largest glamour industries in the world. Every day more than 250 young Indians apply with the hope of becoming a film star. Only a few will succeed, because the average Bollywood film contains many fight and dance scenes, and it is expected that actors also possess beauty, strength and stamina. Sourlis (b. 1972) followed a group of young hopefuls through their auditions and their first appearance in a film. Sourlis is a freelance photographer and works chiefly in Europe and India. He is based in England.
