Michelle Yeoh wants to work with Shah Rukh

Actress Michelle Yeoh, best known for acting in multiple-Oscar winning movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Bond film Die Another Day, loves to deliver punches on screen, but her ultimate desire is to pair with India’s romantic idol King Khan.

Yeoh, whose science-thriller Babylon AD released in Indian theatres recently, is also hoping that the film would be liked in India.

‘I know Shah Rukh Khan is quite famous in India and I would love to star opposite him. But unfortunately no calls yet. But, yes I wish I could get to work with him as a lead actress, be it a Hollywood or Indian film’, says Yeoh.

This Asian actress is a Bollywood fan too.

‘I am an Asian and I like Indian films a lot. Have seen a couple of them in subtitles’, Yeoh told PTI in an email interview.

Michelle Yeoh stars opposite Vin Diesel in Babylon AD, which is set against the backdrop of not-too-distant future where much of the planet is in a war zone left by nuclear meltdowns.

In the film, Diesel is playing the character of a mercenary, who is assigned to smuggle a young woman Aurora (Melanie Thierry) from a convent in Kazakhstan to New York City with Sister Rebeka (Michelle Yeoh) as Aurora’s guardian.

‘Kassovitz wanted a nun who could fight, so I was roped in to play a feisty French nun, someone who could stand up to Vin, physically and mentally’, Yeoh describes her character in the film.
