Mumbai, May 3: She was one of the first artistes from India to make a name on the global platform but actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan says she enjoys being a part of all kinds of movies irrespective of their language or region.

ashBollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone are a part of major franchise films in Hollywood while Aishwarya starred in international projects like "Bride & Prejudice", "Pink Panther 2", "Mistress of Spices" and "Provoked".

When asked whether she thought the international filmmakers are opening up to casting Indian stars, Aishwarya said, "Kudos to all the professionals who are doing all kinds of cinema... I don't think cinema needs to be localised. That has always been my attitude."

The actress, 42, said she has always believed in doing a variety of roles and that reflects in her filmography. "Probably, one of the main reasons for me to start my career with 'Iruvar' was to make this statement... I am here to be an artiste and enjoy being a part of cinema irrespective of which region, language or where it is being made. I enjoy cinema for what it is," Aishwarya said.

The actress, who will complete 15 years of walking the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival this year, said her approach to selecting projects has been very simple.

"I have never been the one to make a hullabaloo about where the film is being made... that has been my attitude and continues to be. That's why I have had the wonderful opportunities of working in south Indian films, Hindi cinema, Bengali movies and a couple of English films.

"The deciding factors in my approach is very simplistic it could be the subject, works with my schedule or fits with that phase of my life. It is not any more or less. There is no larger plan to it," she said.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.
