Ash had acted in a few Hollywood films such as 'Bride and Prejudice', 'Mistress of Spice', 'Provoked', 'The Last Legion' and 'Pink Panther 2'. She has come to Cannes to endorse L'Oreal, while Crowe is there for the premiere of his 'Robin Hood'.
Earlier, in an interview to a website, the 'Gladiator' star had expressed a desire to act in a typical Bollywood potboiler with songs and dances. He said he could do both singing and dancing all by himself and if suitable projects come along, he would surely go for them. The actor has been the lead singer and guitarist for his band 30 odd Foot of Grunts.
He said, "The script would have to be right, and I'd have to understand completely what I was doing. But I fancy having a go. I can do my own singing and I can dance a little bit."
