Hong Kong (PTI): Asian actress Michelle Yeoh said the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" was an example of successful collaboration between Asian film industry and Hollywood.
The Bond actress hoped that the film would pave the way for more such joint ventures in future. "That was a very Indian theme, but it was done by an English director. However, nowadays the film world is global.
We should not say, 'This is only ours.' We should work together, share the technology, share the intellectual property, share the talent," Yeoh said.
The "Memoirs of Geisha" actress also defended the film saying it should not be confused with real life in India. The film has been criticised by some for its portrayal of Indian poverty.
"It's a fairy tale story. What are the odds something like that can happen? But that is the magic of filmmaking. So I am so proud of Danny," the actress said. The former Bond girl, who has worked with Danny Boyle in 2007 for sci-fi movie "Sunshine" said, "I cried. I was so happy for him (Boyle)."
