Rampal with Nicole Kidman for ad film

If you ask Bollywood hunks who is the luckiest of them all, most of them would probably point fingers at Arjun Rampal. True. Indeed, who is not lucky if he gets a chance to share screen space with the scintillating Nicole Kidman? Yes, you heard it right! It is Arjun Rampal sharing screen space – rather ad film space – with Hollywood star Nicole Kidman. Kidman is in Udaipur to shoot an ad film for an international carbonated water and ginger ale beverage company and Rampal is featuring in the ad with her.

It is a non-filmy Bollywood-Hollywood collaboration and Rampal is the blessed local guy working with one of the world's highest-paid actors, Nicole Kidman, renowned producer-director Sir Ridley Scott and veteran director (and director of the ad film) Shekhar Kapur. The ad film will be shot for five days in Udaipur, starting from today.

Reports say that it was Shekhar Kapur who├п┬┐┬╜recommended Arjun Rampal to producer Sir Ridley Scott. Rampal, who was a model before he entered Bollywood, is all excited about this plum assignment.

A delighted Rampal admitted, “Working with Nicole Kidman is going to be fun. This is a dream team to work with. I really appreciate Nicole Kidman as an actor, she’s very, very good, and I’m excited to be working with her.” However Rampal does not have any idea whether the sexy actress knew that he too is an actor. “But she will, once she is here,” Rampal said with a smile.
