Anupam Kher, who is away in Shanghai shooting for Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution", says he was overwhelmed by the modesty of the Oscar- winning director.
"The first thing he said to me was, 'It's an honour to meet you, Mr. Kher. Thank you for agreeing to work in my film.' I nearly choked on his modesty," Anupam told.
Anupam is the only Indian in the film set during World War II.
"So I play a normal guy dressed in a suit. It has none of the exotic mumbojumbo that Asian actors are associated with in big Hollywood films."
The actor is having the time of his life in Shanghai.
"Though it's freezing at minus-zero temperature, I don't feel the cold. The people out here in China are as hospitable as we are back home. Not for a moment do I feel like an outsider.
"And Ang Lee has put up a massive Hollywood-style set, the kind we used to see in the films of Cecil de Mille, etc. The technicians, including the cameraman, are the same as 'Brokeback Mountain'."
The talented actor admits that he is very upset with the contestants on "Zee Cine Stars".
"What do they think of themselves? Last week I was very annoyed by their laidback attitude. These youngsters know nothing about struggle. They're brought to Mumbai by Zee, put up in five-star comfort. They'd never know what it is to be strugglers," said Anupam.
