Hollywood's reigning star Brad Pitt missed the opportunity of romancing Indian beauty Aishwarya Rai in "Troy", but with the growing presence of Indian films on the world stage, he says he might just decide to surprise fans by grooving in true Bollywood style any time.
"Indian cinema seems to be growing very well at its own pace. I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there," Pitt told IANS in an email interview.
"The filmmaking, I hear, has evolved a lot in India and of late we have witnessed some good films making a presence at the Oscars and the world stage," added the actor.
The presence of Indian films and their artists has witnessed a boost in the western world in recent times. International premieres, opportunities for actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Anil Kapoor and Irrfan Khan, as well as A.R.Rahman's Oscar-winning feat for "Slumdog Millionaire" have drawn international interest in India's cinematic offerings.
"That tells you a lot about the quality of the actors and the films. You never know when I might decide to work in a Bollywood film and do one of those dance numbers with the whole crew in the backdrop," quipped Pitt, who shot in the country for 2007 movie "A Mighty Heart".
The 48-year-old actor, who has been named among the sexiest men in the world multiple times, is especially fond of former Miss World Aishwarya. He says he is open to work with her.
"Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she's a versatile actor. She has worked brilliantly in films like 'The Mistress of Spices', 'The Last Legion', 'The Pink Panther 2' and 'Provoked' to name a few," said Pitt.
"She is one of the most popular actresses of Bollywood, who has achieved huge acclaim in the west for her style, beauty and acting skills. I think we missed an opportunity to be cast together for the movie 'Troy'," he added.
Aishwarya was reportedly offered to essay the historical part of Briseis, but she turned down the offer by director Wolfgang Petersen. "Troy", released in 2007, continues to be one of Pitt's best performances till date.
Meanwhile, Pitt has finally decided to enter wedlock with his lady love Angelina Jolie, with whom he makes up the popular 'Brangelina' brand. The couple have six children. Though his wedding date is yet to be fixed, the actor has wished India's 'Saifeena' - Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor - all the best for their D-day next month.
"To be honest, I really think Saif and Kareena can be called Bollywood's sexiest couple so far. I am glad to know they are getting married soon. I wish them all the success for a happy married life," he said,
Pitt is currently eager for the release of gangster movie "Killing Them Softly", set to hit the screens Oct 5.
" 'Killing Them Softly' has a political agenda - one that it isn't too keen on hiding. It is an adaptation of a George V. Higgins novel about two low lives who make the unwise decision to rob a mob-funded card game and the hitman tasked with taking them down," he said of the movie.

If they do cast Brad, I hope they do justice to him and cast him in a classy, high quality, well-made indian movie. Not sure if I want to see him in one of our massy masala movies.
aiswarya rai doesnt have a BIT acting skills , to be honest. She looks good , no doubt , but seriously i havent found any of her movie to be called hit cos of aishwarya's acting .. :/
hahaahahhahaha ,,, this is totally fake ,, he knows Kareena and Saif ?? LOOOOOOL ,, are they very big actors in world ? hahahaaha ... or maybe he could know saif because of saif's SELF Diffuse rumor about working with natalie portman n then her filled case against saif for wrong rumors ahahahahah :DDDDDD
LMAO!!! This article is fake, right? Brad Pitt probably doesn't know the full filmography of Jen Aniston who he was once married to, let alone being able to reel off the names of Aishwarya Rai's lamest films.

Aishwarya rai is still the hottest property of the bollywood
AISHWARYA RAI IS GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD
..........
I agree..she treated like a god in india..
what a fake interview, my goodness Indians will spare no effort
Whoa! Why are the Ash fans so pissed of at Kareena? What did she do to Ash? I'm serious and very curious!
he mentioned all her so called international projects, which were all disasters - 'The Mistress of Spices', 'The Last Legion', 'The Pink Panther 2' and 'Provoked' - these movies were worse than 'C' grade bolly films.. i think Brad pitt's assistent wrote those lines after some research on google.
OMG. Calm down people. Aishwarya Rai is not God.
Sooooooo fake! No one in USA seems to know so much about Bollywood as much as this so called Brad Pitt does. Get fell IANS . He seems to know the who is no of Bollywood and even their wedding date, family life etc etc. I wonder how he didn't congratulate ash on the baby and didn't condemn the media n public for picking on her baby weight . Lol
Try harder next time IANS
AISHWARYA RAI IS GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD.GOD
Beboman fan are getting heart attacks..ha.ha.ha.ha.ha ..AISHWARYA ALWAYS MANAGE TO GIVE THEM THEIR FOOD
this is fake news
KAREENA KAPOOR wil get sleepless nights whole year after hearing
Aishwarya rai is highest tax payer it means highest earner
Brad pit is fan of Aishwarya rai and wants to work only with her
bebo and her so called overrated acting
This is not HIM!!
i think he follows AISHWARYA RAI..wow.wow.wow. She is everyone's fauvorite
Another fake interview concocted by IANS, like the one in which the said Natalie Portman wanted to work with Saif Ali Khan, she never even heard of him lol.
Kareena said in an interview yesterday that his compliments is always welcome
THIS INTERVIEW IS ULTRA FAKE
Yeah ok and I'm Angelina Jolie
I highly doubt that he gave this interview. It sounds a lot like an indian who watches Indian movie and who keeps up to date with it.
fake interview, I don't think Brad Pitt said anything like that.
these kind of things actors hollywood actors just have to say it because they have to create fan following everywhere. most of the time they don't mean it. most of time it is their assistant that prepare this script for them just incase a question like this comes.
however, whats great is that neither saif or kareena have worked in any holywood movie but brad pitt knows them. that's a big achievment.
wohooo... saif and kareena are the most beautiful couple.. even brad pitt says so.
ash's pr? they won't even leave brad pitt alone eh? they are like ants everywhere.
Thats nice of him to say that "To be honest, I really think Saif and Kareena can be called Bollywood's sexiest couple so far"
well Brad Pitt i think you and i share the same thinking :)
he will Fails
I want him to work with Bipasha then :D she is his biggest fan I know! Sure she will be the happiest then too :D
If ASH had done all HOLLYWOOD FILMS which came her way definitely she would have been the NEXT PENOLOPE CRUZ as Meera Nair quoted in 2003 TIME magazine....
OMG!! he has mentioned ASH's every INTERNATIONAL PROJECTS !!! it seems he absolutely loved her performance in those films aww sweet of him
lol he knows kareena and saif?
most people here in the west just think of bollywood as films with lots of indian dancing and singing!
Aww..That is so sweet!! Honestly,I can't see him doing the dancing.But where is BW ONLY about Song-n-dance?its much more than that..There are wonderful films here too..Its just like any other film industry..Films ranging from the Great,the good,the bad to the ugly.
He seems so very fond of Aishwarya.And has seen almost every international film of hers.
I couldn't agree more with him...Ash is such a wonderful actor and is so versatile!!If I think of any actress who is versatile among the bollywood actresses,its AISHWARYA RAI..From D2,PP2 to Provoked,guru to her roles Jodha,paro,nandini to Sophia to Mala etc..A sparkling amount of versatility!! She has excelled in a heavily flawed Mistress of Spices also,which had her in every frame of the film..God!Her eyes can speak so much.!Provoked was obviously a marvelous and powerful performance.She really moved me to tears!! ;even if the script was not something extra-ordinary,just good.Loved her in PP2 too.A spicy and different role for her there,which we haven't seen of her in BW(barring Khakee maybe)
I know why she turned down troy,because it had a lot of nudity and steamy(very very steamy infact :P) scenes.And she's never been comfortable with these kinda roles
It would be so awesome to see Ash-Brad together,but I wonder what kinda script!It so boring to see her working with Abhi again n again.She needs to work with different actors in BW too.
Its also sweet that he mentions Saif-Kareena,even if he has no idea about their careers or them for that matter.But remembered them as he was asked about it in his previous interview.Don't think he's seen much(or any) BW films,as he's only mentioned all the Hw's films of Ash.
he wrote that in an email? you mean his assistant....
oh geezzzz
I'm pretty sure none of this happened, it seems like a false or fabricated interview. Brad Pitt doesn't talk like that... especially listing off "Mistress of Spices", which I'm sure Aishwarya herself doesn't remember to him saying that 'Saifeena' "can be called Bollywood's sexiest couple so far."
It's a lie. He doesn't talk like that.
"To be honest, I really think Saif and Kareena can be called Bollywood's sexiest couple so far. I am glad to know they are getting married soon. I wish them all the success for a happy married life," he said,
well said Brad.
