Kylie thrilled to work with A.R. Rahman, "incredible experience"

"It was an incredible experience (to work with A.R. Rahman)," the 40-year-old singer told a packed news conference at a Mumbai hotel to publicise her work in the film "Blue," which is due for release later this year.

"I met A.R. Rahman at the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) awards (in London last month). I couldn't believe I was doing a song with him in Bollywood so soon after."

"Blue," an underwater extravaganza that was partly shot in the Caribbean, also stars action hero Akshay Kumar, Bollywood "bad boy" Sanjay Dutt and leading lady Katrina Kaif.

The big-budget movie is about a sunken treasure ship and is said to have been inspired by the Hollywood production "The Deep."

But those involved in the project are keeping the plot close to their chests, including Minogue, who has sold more than 60 million records worldwide.
