Oscar-winning director Ang Lee says he feels sorry having caused traffic jams in Shanghai when shooting his new film "Lust, Caution."

The Brokeback Mountain director made an apology on New Year's Eve when he attended an activity at a local television station, saying he felt sorry for having brought inconvenience to Shanghai citizens. Lee also wished them a Happy New Year.

The plot of "Lust, Caution" is based on a short story by the late Chinese writer Eileen Chang. The film stars new actress Tang Wei, Hong Kong veteran Tony Leung and Chinese-American singer Leehom Wang.

Ang Lee has been heading the crew's work in Shanghai for the past two months, and reportedly plans to wrap up shooting by the end of January.
