New Delhi, Jan 23 (IANS) After bagging 10 Oscar nominations, four Golden Globes and appreciation across the world, British filmmaker Danny Boyle's rags-to-riches story "Slumdog Millionaire" has found another fan in Nazi thriller "Valkyrie" director Bryan Singer.

"I loved 'Slumdog Millionaire'. I heard so much about the film from Indian journalists in Los Angeles that I was curious to watch it. It's amazing. The east and the west have actually bonded now," Singer told IANS over phone from Seoul, South Korea.

Singer, who is on a promotional tour for the assassination thriller across Asia and Europe, was upbeat about Boyle's underdog drama and couldn't stop raving about it.
