Having started her career with a Tamil film, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan does not consider language handicap an obstacle to doing good cinema. The actress, who attended the music launch of Vikram Phadnis' directorial debut, Hrudayantar, confessed that she is open to expand her filmography by working in Marathi films.


The actress made her acting debut in 1997 with Mani Ratnam's Tamil political drama Iruvar and her Bollywood debut came by around the same year — with romantic comedy Aur Pyaar Ho Gaya. Speaking at the event, Ash said as long as the project is "exciting", language is no barrier.


"I am an actor and it doesn't matter in which language the film is made or by whom it is made. I have carved my own journey. I would love to work in a Marathi language film as in any other language as long as the script excites me. I may not speak Marathi fluently but I understand it."

Recalling her association with Vikram during her modeling days, Aishwarya said the ace fashion designer had once told her that regardless of "whether we follow the customary ritual of Raksha Bandhan every year or not, I will be there for you always".

"He wanted to make the film 10 years ago and he had narrated it to me and Shiamak Davar (choreographer), but I think there is a time for everything and I am glad that it's happening now and that his first film is in his mother tongue," she said.

The film, which features popular Marathi actors including Subodh Bhave and Mukta Barve, apart from host-comic Manish Paul, also has Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan in a special appearance.

Vikram got emotional on the occasion as he said, "I cannot thank the Hindi film industry enough for all the support and love right from the mahaurat of my film.
