The James Bond star, who has travelled to India in the past, thinks Bollywood movies have mastered the art of capturing the "exuberance" and "celebration" of life on camera exceptionally well, reported IndiaToday.

Daniel Craig, who reprised his role as the iconic super spy James Bond in Spectre, is in love with the merriment, music and thrill of Bollywood.

The actor, who has travelled to Kerala and shot in Goa in the past, also shared that he loves to watch Bollywood films and thinks they are fabulous.

"Yes! I have watched Bollywood movies and they are fabulous. The exuberance, the life, the celebration, which Bollywood movies showcase, that's what movies are about really. In the end, it boils down to making movies for the audience that they enjoy watching and [through which they] experience thrill, which is what we try to do with Bond. Bollywood does that exceptionally well," Craig said in an interview to &pictures.

As far as his character is concerned, Craig asserts that with every film, Bond "gets a bit older and a bit wiser".

"I have a script to work on, and we work on that very carefully for a long period of time before we start shooting the film. I believe in exploring the character and seeing what he's capable of doing and gauging his limits, and then pushing those limits," said Craig, who is dropping hints that Spectre can be his last Bond film.

The actor is all praise for the film's director as well.

"I love working with Sam and we have developed a relationship now which is very creative and we push each other and he protects me a great deal," Craig said.

Spectre, also starring Christoph Waltz, Monica Bellucci and Ralph Fiennes, is the 24th instalment of the film franchise.
