He has been the man in shining armour for the likes of Reese Witherspoon, Abbie Cornish and Amanda Seyfried but guess who makes Ryan Phillippe’s heart miss a beat – Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

“Bollywood has its own brand of cinema which appeals to a billion people locally and millions of more people outside of the country. There is a humungous population that watches and enjoys Bollywood films, even outside of India. They make entertaining films, which not only run high on emotion, but spread a message as well,” says the actor, who says he “wouldn’t mind doing a dance move or two to lap up a Bollywood film.

It seems unusual that one of the most romantic off screen movie stories – that of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan – has not been seen in a straightforward romantic situation on-screen since their marriage.

Soon, we’ll be seeing them together in a tale of forbidden love in Raavan. But the pair are quite happy with this situation. “It’s wonderful because even we as actors, over the years, have been gravitating towards experiences as characters in a lot of movies,” says Aishwarya.

As well as Raavan, Aishwarya has also been working hard on Endhiran with Southern legend Rajnikanth and she has talked about how excited she feels to have the opportunity to work with him.

“We’ve all grown up watching Rajinikanth films and all those moves – it’s been exciting, everyone around me was excited about me working with him,” she explains.
