The British supermodel wowed casting directors during her appearance at the Fashion For Relief fundraiser in Mumbai last week and is now planning to return to India to audition for her first major film role.

A source said: "Naomi had never modelled in India before but she loved every minute.

"At the end of the show, two well-known Bollywood producers approached her and asked if she'd be interested in screen testing.

"Naomi was incredibly flattered and plans to come back to Mumbai for more talks whenever she next has a break in her schedule."

Although Naomi may be keen to launch a movie career, she admits her previous ventures away from modelling have not been as successful.

The 38-year-old-beauty tried to become a pop star in 1995, but her album 'Baby Woman' flopped.

She said: "I must say that I am not a great singer. I gave it a try but it didn't really work. I had a song 'La-La-La Love Song' which had a video heavily influenced by India.

"Even where Indian fashion is concerned, I love the clothes - the sari. Also, Indian women are very pretty and they carry themselves very well."
