Ben Kingsley likes being directed by women??



Oscar-winning veteran actor Ben Kingsley, who will be seen in Bollywood director Leena Yadav's crime thriller "Teen Patti" as a narrator."It's a very, very small part.I keep appearing in little scenes in the film as a storyteller,"says kinglsey. "Female directors see things that guys miss. I respond well to female direction.


The ego is in a different place. They are focussed on fundamental things like narrative and human behaviour rather than issues that may be distorted by the male ego," the Hollywood actor said . Yadav is the third woman to direct Kingsley and it seems as if he's enjoying working with them. "I just did two other films with female directors. I like being directed by females.







They bring a different eye through the camera and an unusual perspective," Kingsley told . The actor, known for his astonishing performance in "Gandhi" says, "It was an opportunity to work with an Indian crew again after 'Gandhi'.


It was an opportunity to work with Mr. Bachchan, who is an icon in his own field. It's interesting to mix cultures in a film to see how different people from different backgrounds can be so very synchronized and work together.


In "Teen Patti", We worked very intensely, We hit a very quick working rhythm," Kingsley told. He will next be seen in Martin Scorsese's "Shutter Island" that is set to release in Feb.
