Italian actress Caterina Murino, who played the sexy seductress Solange in ‘Casino Royale’, will reportedly act in a Bollywood movie.
The Bond bombshell was approached by director Anubhav Sinha for an item number in his latest movie Cash .
But Sinha then had a change of mind. Instead of an item song, he decided to cast Caterina in a full-fledged role in his next movie Chase .
‘Chase’ would be an out-and-out action flick to be shot in Italy.
Since the movie’s story is set in Italy, Sinha thought about roping in Caterina to play a spunky Italian girl in the film.
Caterina’s tryst with showbiz began with beauty pageants in 1996. She studied drama and acted in a number of plays before beginning her television career in 2002. Thereafter, she acted in a number of Italian films. But it was her role in ‘Casino Royale’ in 2006 that brought her international recognition.
Now a plum role in a Bollywood film will make her famous in this part of the world.
Anubhav Sinha plans to cast three newcomers in the film. He is himself said to be grooming these actors.
