She may have appeared in a James Bond movie earlier, but Italian actress Caterina Murino's dream was to dance in a Bollywood film someday. The former Bond girl, who starred in Daniel Craig's Casino Royale, is all set to make her debut in Bollywood with Fever. Caterina said that since director Rajeev Jhaveri knew her dream of dancing in a Hindi film, he put her in a sequence utilising her skills. "Because Rajeev knew that it was my dream to dance in a Bollywood film, he put me in a sequence where I am dancing. But it is more of a European style, not the typical dance. So 60 per cent of my dream was fulfilled," Caterina told PTI in an interview. "For us, Bollywood movies are about dance, classical and historical things but I believe you are doing much more than that. But Fever has an international appeal to it. It is not the typical Bollywood stuff," she added. Fever also stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Gauahar Khan and British actress Gemma Atkinson. The 38-year-old actress was happy when the film was offered to her, but her only impression of Bollywood was that it was a huge industry which churned many movies. "Thanks to James Bond, I am here. Because the director saw the film and approached me. I was so happy when I received the script because Bollywood for us, is (like) a huge machine. But unfortunately, we didn't see much of Bollywood films," she said. Even though Caterina did not watch a lot of Hindi films, the actress said people in Italy are crazy about Kabir Bedi more than any other superstar of India.
