“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.
The stunning blonde, who turned 40 last month, shows off her perfect figure in saucy leopard print knickers and a black bra.

Woody Allen has directed and written the script for the film as well. He also plays a pivotal role in the movie. To Rome with Love tops on the 'performance' front. A 'not-so-impressive' script with some terrific performance by the huge star-cast - this is what To Rome with Love is all about. There is a feel-good factor combined with the scenic beauty of Rome, which makes it an endearing flick.
Story
There are four sub-plots.....
1) A young Italian couple who arrive in Rome for their honeymoon. They are funny, and provide ample dosage of adult humour.
2) A retired opera director (Woody Allen) and his wife (Judy Davis) who come to Rome to meet their future son-in-law, instead end up talent hunting.
3) Architect (Alec Baldwin) who gets nostalgic and travels down memory lane, thanks to a young architecture student (Jesse Eisenberg) living in Rome.
4) A local resident of Rome (Roberto Benigni) who one fine day finds himself a part of the elite crowd.
Performance
Woody Allen, as usual, doesn't let you down, and once again proves that he is a terrific actor. Penelope Cruz looks very glamourous and convincing as a young married lady. As said earlier, the film rocks because of the performance by all the stars. So, it would be unfair to single out any particular actor. Power-packed performances by all!
Overall, To Rome with Love can be watched once for sure.

For Bieber, the secret ingredient to a healthy love life can be summed up in just one word: honesty.
“You just have to be honest, that’s the first thing, because if you’re not honest, then the relationship is just not a good relationship,” Biebs shares. “At the end of the day, your girl would appreciate you being honest more than lying to her and vice versa.”
Bieber, whose latest single “Boyfriend” hit the airwaves on March 26, also went on to describe a few other qualities that help make him suitable boyfriend material for his adorable girlfriend Selena Gomez, who he began dating in 2010. “I’m loving and patient and kind and gentle,” the pop singer admitted. No wonder Gomez, 19, and the rest of the world, is so smitten with the Biebs.
The rest of Hollywood would do well to follow in this couple’s wise footsteps. If their relationship can survive apaternity scandal and fandeath threats at such a young age, then they just might be able to seriously withstand the Hollywood test of time.
