A: To do something that has a big budget, with a great director and actors and to work with a script that has that quality and level of writing and production design is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I got that with Shanghai. My co-stars in the film were 'the greatest artistes from Asia' and it was an honour to work with them. It was the first time I shot in Asia and didn't get the chance to explore Thailand because of a busy shooting schedule but I did enjoy the warmth of the Thai people.
