"Amongst Indian actors, Amitabh Bachchan is my favourite. He is just incredible. In Dubai, I grew up watching his movies. Absolutely, it would be a dream to work with him," Samira told PTI.
The 29-year-old British actress is currently in Goa to shoot the film, directed by Venkatesh Kumar.
The small-budget film will be made in English, Hindi and Kannada languages also stars actors Raj Purohit and Nivedita Biswas.
Asked if she is not worried to do a small-budget film in India, she said, "Budget of a film doesn't matter to me. The thing which I take into consideration is the content. Budget is a concern only in India. In UK small budget films do well at the box-office."
Without divulging much about her character in the film, she said, "As soon as they told me, not just the title but the storyline of the film, I was very much interested in it. That's why I rescheduled everything to be here because I believe it is a wonderful story."
Born to an Arab-Portuguese parents, the actress feels that she can relate to Indian culture.
"My father is an Arab and mother is Portuguese. I have lived in many countries and can relate to people in India, I understand Indian culture and food," she added.
