Sherawat, 23, plays an Indian princess with whom Chan's character falls in love. The movie opens next Wednesday at the Cannes festival, which runs until May 22nd. Chan has described the movie -- shot in China and India -- as an Indiana Jones type of adventure that includes a fantasy element. He plays a Qin dynasty general and an archaeologist. I did the stunts on my own, said Sherawat, who has acted in six movies since her 2003 debut.

    The bikinis and micro-minis she sports in her films has earned Sherawat the sex symbol tag. Her debut picture Khwahish (Desire) hit the headlines with a record 17 kissing scenes. It's tiresome for me to put on an act. I'm not a fake, she said. When asked by reporters if she would accept roles in foreign films with sexual content, she replied, I haven't had a problem doing kissing and intimate scenes here, so why should I abroad?

    Bollywood, the world's most prolific movie industry, churns out hundreds of features a year with Indian actors and filmmakers increasingly exploring opportunities overseas. Indian actress Nandita Das is on the nine-member Cannes jury panel this year.
