New Delhi: Nargis Fakhri has shared screen space with Oscar nominated actress Melissa McCarthy in her first crossover project Spy. Elated by the opportunity, the actress says it was a privilege to team up with the Hollywood icon.

"Being able to work alongside such a talented and influential actor as Melissa in my first Hollywood movie is a moment I feel blessed to have had," Nargis told IANS.

The Rockstar actress can be seen jumping over cars in the film's trailer as she plays an agent from a terrorist group who is on a mission to seal a deal over a nuke bomb.

In the trailer of the Paul Feig-directed movie, Nargis is also seen embroiled into a funny food fight scene.

She points out that she had a lot of fun while shooting the fight sequence for the action comedy.

"She (McCarthy) was great around the set and our onscreen chemistry made our fight sequence really special," added Nargis, who has been a part of Bollywood movies like Main Tera Hero and Madras Cafe.

Spy revolves around a CIA operative, who takes up the challenge to go out in the field to fight the wrong and save the world. It chronicles her adventures and narrates obstacles she finds during the mission.

Nargis considers Mr Feig, who has also helmed films like The Heat and Bridesmaids, as her guiding force in the international world of cinema.

"I think being directed and mentored by someone as inspirational as Paul Feig not only improves my performance but as a whole makes it what it is," said the actress.

The film also stars Rose Byrne, Jason Statham, Jude Law and Miranda Hart.

Spy released in India on June 19.
