Shah Rukh Khan’s Josh co-star Sharad Kapoor lands Hollywood debut after viral appeal for work

Sharad Kapoor, a notable actor from the 2000 film Josh alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, has announced his impending Hollywood debut. Kapoor's decision to make his film industry jump to America was prompted by a viral video where he called out for acting opportunities. The actor explained that he had been absent from the screen for the past two to three years and was seeking to reestablish his career.

Kapoor also revealed the reason behind his temporary departure from his four pet dogs, stating that a leg injury sustained during a football game in Barcelona made it difficult for him to provide proper care. The injury, he said, prevented him from caring for his pets, cleaning the house, and taking them out for proper exercise. Kapoor consulted with Dr. Anand Joshi, an orthopedic surgeon, who advised him to take two months of bed rest to recover from the injury.

Leaving his pets at an animal shelter was only a temporary arrangement until he fully recovered. Kapoor has since sold his current home to move to a larger property, Mud Island, which has seven bedrooms and ample space for his dogs. He plans to move there once he is fully recovered. Kapoor emphasized that his appeal for work was not a plea for financial assistance nor a criticism of his fellow actors.

Instead, he noted that his industry was full of familiar faces and that he did not seek monetary help or choose projects based on monetary factors.

In addition to his Hollywood debut, Kapoor confirmed that he has received an offer for a film to be shot in January, marking his Hollywood debut. However, he also clarified that he intends to continue working in Bollywood alongside his international projects. Kapoor stated that badmouthing each other harms the industry as a whole, and he intended to continue working in India once he fully recovers.
