Veteran actor, Sun Honglei, who plays the ancient strategist, Sun Bin, in the upcoming "Warring States," is concerned about his long hair image in the film, the actor said. All-star cast including Sun Honglei, Jing Tian, Francis Ng and South Korean actress, Kim Hee-Sun, attended the ceremony to mark the launch of its official website Thursday, March 3 in Beijing, Tianjin Daily reports Friday.

Actor Sun claimed, "Sun Bin" as the toughest role for him so far.

He added the film with a heavy tinge of intelligent tactics will make people who watch the film feel like there in a process of constant brainstorming with lots of surprises.
