Hollywood veteran actor Matt Damon on Saturday expressed his deep desire to work with renowned Indian cinema filmmaker Shekhar Kapur. Damon recalled how he missed a great opportunity to work in Shekhar Kapur’s directorial venture ‘The Four Feathers’ more than two decades ago, which he still regrets. At a press conference held in Mumbai on the occasion of the India premiere of Christopher Nolan’s film “The Odyssey”, Damon said that it has been his long-time desire to work with Shekhar Kapur.
He said, when I started, everyone wanted to work with Shekhar Kapur. I remember for some reason I could not do ‘The Four Feathers’ and I was very regretful about it because I had been selected for the film ‘Bourne’.” The actor said, ”So Shekhar Kapur has always been on the list of people I want to work with. I want another chance to work with him. This is a small loan of about 20 years old, which I am still carrying around with me.
