Brad Pitt hopes to one day work on a Bollywood film because he is impressed with the "drama and colour" of Indian movies.

The Fight Club star admits he takes an interest in the Indian entertainment industry and would be open to signing on for a Bollywood project.

He tells Indian news agency Ians, "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. 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. That tells you a lot about the quality of the actors and the films."

Pitt also regrets missing out on the chance to work with Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan after she turned down a role in his 2007 epic Troy.

He adds, "Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, because she's a versatile actor. 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 Troy."
