Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing almost lost her chance to star in local filmmaker Chong Keat Aun’s upcoming movie Mother Bhumi as she was deemed “too pretty” for the role.

At a recent press conference attended by StarLifestyle in Kuala Lumpur, Fan revealed that Chong, 46, initially hesitated to cast her.
