Gemma Atkinson, is all set to enter Bollywood with Fever

English actress, television personality and lingerie model Gemma Atkinson, better known as soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo's former flame, is all set to enter Bollywood with Fever (directed by Rajeev Jhaveri).

Gemma has replaced Barbara Mori, who was initially approached for the role. Producer Ravi Agarwal says, "The logistics of bringing Barbara down were prohibitive. It wasn't working out commercially. Plus, I was strongly of the opinion that we needed a fresh face for the role, and that's the reason we replaced her." A brief chat with Gemma on her B-Town debut.

I loved the script. It has everything: love, murder and action. The Bollywood film industry is so glamourous. For me, it was about discovering another side and seeing how things in Bollywood are done.

Yes. Learning Hindi was extremely hard. I'm still not fluent but I understand my lines in the script, which is important. I want my lines to come across well on screen.

I've shot four movies in the UK: a love story called The Sweet Shop, a comedy called How To Stop Being A Loser, which is releasing in cinemas in November, a thriller called Airborne, which I also co-produced. My next project is a remake of Night Of The Living Dead in 3D.

With regards to nudity, it all depends on how it's being shot and if it's necessary. There are many ways to show people being in love on screen and Fever is more about the perceived sexual tension than the physical sex. Rajeev is shooting this movie so beautifully that I'm sure the sex scenes will be done tastefully.
