Judi Shekoni of 'Twilight' steps foot into Bollywood

Judi Shekoni of Twilight fame, will be next seen in the forthcoming film Club Dancer.

Full of versatility, the Hollywood actress shot at Madh Island in Mumbai for the dance numbers in the movie. When asked how was it working in Bollywood, she says, “I was really excited to work with the whole cast because I’ve seen Hindi movies before. This was a new challenge for me, playing the role of a club dancer. I was a bit concerned about whether I would be able to blend in with the work I was expected to do, but it turned out to be a fabulous experience.”

The Hollywood actress, who has also starred in Hollywood films like Garfield 2, Jekyll and Hyde, and Ali G Indahouse, along with guest appearances in TV shows like Casualty, Fat Friends and The King of Queens, will be playing an important role in Club Dancer.

The film’s director Shubhir Mukerjee says, “I met Judi in London, at the premiere of Twilight. I thought she is made for Bollywood, she came like a sea goddess, which is how we have portrayed her in the two songs in the movie.”

Shubir, who has also roped in Samantha Fox with Govinda for his film Rock Dancer, further says, “ I am very happy that Judi picked up the Bollywood dancing style quickly. We had a two-day schedule and we were able to finish the title track in a very short span of time.”

Judi, who has already become a sensation in B-town, claims to be a big fan of Amitabh Bachchan. “It is wonderful to see him crossover to Hollywood in The Great Gatsby. He is an iconic figure, if I get an opportunity, I would love to work with him.”
