Watts plays the Princess of Wales during roughly the last two years of her life. The story is based on the 2001 book \"Diana: Her Last Love,\" chronicling her relationships with heart surgeon Hasnat Khan and Dodi Fayed.\u003cbr/\u003eCas Anvar, who plays Fayed, says he would often marvel on set about the way Watts embodied the essence of Princess Diana. In fact, he says she stayed in character on set.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It was quite surreal sometimes, but it was thrilling to be around, working with someone like that,\" he said. \"She kept in character all the time so I never actually got to experience the Naomi side of things. I was more or less always interacting with Lady Di.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWatts says she tried to stay in character, not because she's \"as disciplined as Daniel Day-Lewis\" but because the accent was so difficult to master.\u003cbr/\u003eDespite all her effort, few have been impressed with the film thus far. It's had mostly negative reviews. \u003cbr/\u003eNaveen Andrews, who plays Dr. Khan, believes a big part of that is because Diana really was, as her nickname implies, the people's princess.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Obviously in England I think people feel a sense of ownership over her,\" he said. \"They did when she was alive. Now they do that she's passed. It's a testament to her power that she can generate so much emotion and feeling.\"\u003cbr/\u003eWatts agrees: \"Everyone feels they know her and they thought they had an opinion about who she was and their version of the story must be true and the comparisons that will be made inevitably.\"\u003cbr/\u003eAnvar says he thinks the strong opinions over the film are a good thing.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Personally I would rather be part of a project that inspires massive debate and controversy than a project that just fades away with a whimper.
