Jacqueline Fernandez on working with Rohit Shetty: Would be nervous on the sets

She added, “When the camera rolls, we would be well-behaved and extremely focused. So, Rohit did not have any issues with us (laughs!)” And she also revealed she was nervous and said, “The thing is, when you finally get to work with someone who you have looked up to, the experience, in the beginning, is quite intimidating. I would in fact be nervous on sets.”

Fernandez made her Bollywood debut in 2009 with Aladin and went on to do films like Housefull 2 and 3, Kick, Brothers, Dishoom, A Gentleman, and was also seen in Netflix’s Mrs. Serial Killer. For the uninitiated, she's also about to make her Hollywood debut soon. Fernandez will make her Hollywood debut with upcoming anthology feature "Women Stories".

The movie will feature six shorts, ranging from drama to comedy, docu-drama to animation, from six women filmmakers. Fernandez will star in filmmaker Leena Yadav's short, titled "Sharing A Ride" alongside transgender model Anjali Lama, reported Deadline. Yadav is known for directing movies such as "Parched", "Rajma Chawal" and "Teen Patti".

The anthology movie's cast also includes Cara Delevingne, Eva Longoria, Margherita Buy, Leonor Varela and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden. Three other segments from the movie include "Unspoken" from Maria Sole Tognazzi and featuring Buy. Longoria will headline "Lagonegro" from Lucia Puenzo, while "Suicide Squad" actor Delevingne will star in filmmaker Catherine Hardwicke's "Elbows Deep" alongside Harden and Jasmine Luv.

"Women Stories", which will be shot in Italy, India and the US, is being backed by Iervolino Entertainment and non-profit production company We Do It Together, which campaigns for gender equality. Chiara Tilesi, Andrea Iervolino, Lucas Akoskin and Monika Bacardi are the producers. Carol Polakoff will serve as executive producer.
