Veteran actor Prem Chopra has carved a niche for himself by delivering cult classics such as `Prem Nagar`, `Upkar`, and `Bobby` in the industry and became one of the most popular and undisputed villains of all time. He has also worked in films in Hollywood. On Prem Chopra`s birthday, we revisit the time he was offered a film in the west asking him to play Godfather. He jumped at the offer only to later realise that it was not what he was thinking. 

In an interview with ANI earlier this year, Prem Chopra revealed that he was offered the role of Godfather in a Hollywood film paying homage to Francis Ford Coppola`s iconic film `The Godfather.`"I had an offer...somebody came to me and said they were making an English film, a Hollywood production with American actors in it. He told me that it was a tribute to `Godfather` (cult crime trilogy directed by iconic American auteur Coppola). I jumped on it thinking I was playing the Godfather.
