Los Angeles, Aug 2 (IANS): Oscar winning actor Adrien Brody, who visited India to shoot for ‘The Darjeeling Limited’, insists that the country has helped him reconnect with his spiritual side.

The actor, whose latest film "Predators", hits theatres in India Aug 6, says he would love to return to India.

"I have visited India twice - before and during the filming of 'The Darjeeling Limited (TDL)'. The first time, I was overwhelmed by the economic situation there. So, I think I was not able to enjoy the real beauty of the place," he said.

"But during the filming of TDL, I think I really connected with the people there and that made it a whole new experience for me. That trip kind of got me reconnected with my spiritual side," he added.

Besides enjoying the rich culture and the warmth of the people in India, Brody says he also had his share of "misadventures" with some near-death experiences.

"I had a couple of minor accidents when I felt I’d die, but it all seems so funny now, looking back at those times. I had a wonderful time in India and would certainly love to visit the country one again," he added.
