British actress Natalie Dormer, who plays the tragic queen Anne Boleyn in the royal period drama The Tudors opposite Jonathan Rhys Meyers, says she would love to work in Indian films.
The actress believes that the future of entertainment lies in international collaborations like Slumdog Millionaire.
I would love to work in Indian films. In fact I recently shot an international film with Bollywood actor Sonu Sood in Dubai. I feel the future is about international collaborations like Slumdog Millionaire and City of Life," the actress said over the phone from Los Angeles.
She is playing a Russian air hostess in City of Life, which is directed by Ali Mustafa.
The actress is also facinated by Bollywood films which she believes are more about the light side of life.
"Bollywood films are more about happy things. They portray the brighter side of life. As artistes are expected to bring the darker side on screen as well but Bollywood cinema can teach West more about hope," she said.
The actress also wants to visit India, which is on top of her wish-list.
"It is on top of my list of the places that I would like to visit. Even Sonu had asked me to come to India," said Dormer.
The 26-year-old star, who stars opposite Bend It Like Beckham actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the historical drama, is also excited that the Tudors are coming to India.
"I hope they enjoy it. It is a story which educates you without making it obvious. It is a fun show," said Dormer.
The Emmy-award winning show is based on the romantic and political life of British king Henry VIII played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers. It premiers on FOX History and Entertainment channel on March 27.
When asked how Dormer prepared for the role of Anne Boleyn, one of the most enigmatic woman in British history, the actress said her interest in the subject came to her rescue.
"I had read the story in my schoolbooks and I also had discussions with the scriptwriter. You have to forget yourself to be one with a character like that," she said.
Anne Boleyn was the second wife of King Henry, whom he married after a long pursuit. She was later executed on charges of treason and adultery.
The actress, who worked with late Heath Ledger in Casanova says the actor deserved every award that he won.
Ledger was recently posthumously awarded an Oscar for his villainous turn as the Joker in The Dark Knight.
"I have seen the film and I think he has done great. He deserves every award. He was fun to be with, very grounded, down to earth being and a great scholar," said the actress, who played the comic role of accident-prone Victoria in love with Heath's character in the 2005 film.
