The superstar is one of the main attractions of the upcoming remake, and director Seth Gordon has opened up on how she got involved.
“As soon as I spoke to her, I knew she could do it,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I really loved the idea of Dwayne [Johnson] going up against a female antagonist. Her approach is purely psychological.
“It’s about outsmarting, it’s about out-winning, it’s about taking advantage of the male ego, all that stuff.”
He added: “She really was just a much more interesting person for him to go up against, because it wasn’t going to be just brawn or grit.”
Chopra and Johnson will star alongside Zac Efron and Kelly Rohrbach when the new film is released later this month.
Last month it was revealed that test audiences were left shocked when a naked corpse showed up on-screen.
It seems there will be a gross but undeniably hilarious moment in a morgue when unspeakable liquids drip onto Efron’s face.
The runnning joke has Efron handling the corpse’s private parts and even lifting the organs up and out of the way so he can examine the skin area underneath.
The poor lad doesn’t even remember to put gloves on first…
Baywatch in out in cinemas on May 29.
