Actor Naveen Andrews thinks "Caught In Flight", the original title for new biopic "Diana", was a more fitting name for the movie.

The 44-year-old portrays Hasnat Khan, the former lover of the late Princess Diana, in the biopic which focuses on the last two years of the royal's life before her tragic death in August 1997, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

When quizzed on why the title was changed, Andews told BANG Showbiz: "I preferred 'Caught In Flight'! I personally don't know why it was changed. I always thought in the way the film was structured - it's about the last two years of her life - the original title made sense."

Khan started dating Diana, the mother of Prince William and Prince Harry, after meeting her in September 1995 and the pair eventually split in June 1997 after the heart surgeon decided he wouldn't be able to cope with the attention if they went public with their romance.

Naomi Watts portrays Princess Diana in the biopic.
