‘Bring on another Bollywood film!’

“I loved India. It’s in me, I miss it so much and I miss Salman (Khan), my co-star from Marigold,” begins Hollywood hottie Ali Larter, best known for her role in the hit TV series, Heroes, and last seen in the recently-released Resident Evil 4.

“Tell him I am thinking about him and I hope his family and he are doing wonderful,” she smiles, recalling how she loved working in India, and how “the graciousness of the people” won her heart. When asked if she like to do another Bollywood film, she chirps, “Sure, bring it on!” Back to her latest act in Resident Evil 4, Ali says it was great to work with co-actor Milla Jovovich.

“Milla and I aren’t competitive with each other. In fact, I only compete with myself. With Milla, we believed in trying to make the best possible movie,” she says.

Ali also feels that there’s a reason why zombies have such popular appeal: "People like to express their dark fantasies through these movies. They like to fantasise over a virus getting out, taking over the world and creating the undead. They get taken on a ride. It gives them just enough believability to do so. It’s not so scary that you go home and have nightmares. But it’s thrilling enough to express and think about those things."
