Mumbai: The Bond girl, Caterina Murino is all set for her Bollywood debut with upcoming film titled “Fever” opposite Rajeev Khandelwal. She made a mark with her stunning appearance as Solange Dimitrios in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale.
She said, “Where do I begin talking about my journey? I am naturally curious about life and all its experiences. I want to experience everything. I’ve travelled so far and so long that sometimes I forget where I am. Although in these parts (of the world) I am known as the ‘Bond girl’, I’ve done innumerable films and television shows in different languages. Now I am trying Bollywood for the first time and it’s exciting.”
She added, “As I said, curiosity takes me to the remotest places. When Rajeev Jhaveri, the director of Fever, met me in Monte Carlo, it didn’t take me long to say yes to his film. The script was absolutely gripping. I felt the film would turn out really well. And I was right. I saw the film the other day. I found it to have everything that I had read in the script. This is not an ordinary film and Rajeev Khandelwal is not an ordinary actor.”
The Bond girl said, “I’ve to admit where I come from, I had not had the chance to see many Bollywood films. But once a friend of mine showed me Jodhaa Akbar, and I was blown away by the exquisite beauty and presentation. My Bollywood debut is different from the usual song-and-dance films. But I am very happy that people here will see me in this film.”
