Taiwan-based actor Frederick Lee, who has been absent from Malaysia's film industry for several years, has returned to the country to shoot his new drama, The Hidden Dragon. Shooting began Thursday (Sept 14).

Speaking to local reporters, Lee said that he felt "touched" after receiving local director Teddy Chin's offer to star in the upcoming drama, slated for release next year, as he had not starred in a Malaysian production for years.
