- Planet Bollywood Special Correspondant           Let us know what you think about this story

Kochi, Feb 27 (PTI) Model-turned-actress Lisa Ray today said she does not consider 'Slumdog Millionaire', which received eight Oscar awards, as one of the best films in the world. "Slumdog is not a bad film. Technically, it is a good film. But I do not consider it the best in the world", the actress told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

Ray, the brand ambassador of Rado, was here in connection with the opening of an exclusive showroom of the Swiss watch-maker. The actress, who has acted in seven Bollywood films, including that of Deepa Mehta's Oscar-nominated film 'Water', said if good offers came her way from Bollywood and regional films, she would grab them.

Ray, who is settled in Canada, said she was interested in theatre and had gone to Drama school of London.

Asked if she had heard about any Malayalam actors, 'Mammootty' came the prompt reply.

Lisa, who wanted to be a journalist, said she began her modelling career 'very early' and came into Hindi films with 'Kasoor' in 2001. She has also acted in a Tamil film, 'Nethaji' opposite Sarat Kumar.

The actress said she had recently completed the shoot of 'Black Box', a French film.
