Bipasha Basu has claimed that she shares a "chemistry" with Josh Hartnett on the set of her first Hollywood project.

The Bengali actress told the Hindustan Times that her new film, Singularity, is the ultimate romance.

Basu revealed: "The crux of the movie is a love story. There is romance in each frame and at the same time my character is very fiery and brave. Hartnett and I have an amazing chemistry."

The 32-year-old star, who is reported to have split from long-term boyfriend John Abraham, has filmed a large portion of the movie in Australia.

The period film, directed by Roland Joffé, is set in colonial India.

"It has been a new experience," added the Race star. "I am honoured to work with him (Joffé) and I feel it is a step forward for me."

Basu will be seen later this month in the thriller Dum Maaro Dum.
