Desai, who sourced locations for Oscar winning director Oliver Stone’s Alexander, said he was looking forward to exchanging ideas and technology with his western counterparts.
Asked to name the directors he’d like to work with in Hollywood, he says, “Steven Spielberg and James Cameron. Why aspire for anything less than the best?”
