Cameron also shared his experience regarding teaming up with Winselt again for his much-awaited film, Avatar 2: Way Of Water, he added, “She’s very large and in charge on set. You’d swear she was producing the film!”
Interestingly, after Cameron’s Titanic was released, Kate Winslet had expressed the filmmaker had a ‘temper’. She had stated, “You’d have to pay me a lot of money to work with Jim again”. However, the two are now coming together for Avatar 2: Way Of Water which will hit theatres on December 16.
Talking about Titanic, the film revolved around a tragic love story of two individuals belonging to different classes who fall in love amid the backdrop of the sinking Titanic.
