Jon Harris had earlier worked on the critically-acclaimed film Being Cyrus, directed by Homi Adajania, starring Saif Ali Khan. He was the editor of the film.
Recently, while giving interviews for the promotion of The Descent 2, he was asked about an actor whom he would like to work with and why.
To this, Jon Harris quickly replied, “Saif Ali Khan. I haven’t met him but I loved his role in a film for which I was an editor. The film is called Being Cyrus and my friend Homi told me that it was a critically-acclaimed movie in India. I am looking forward to work with the actor if get an opportunity.”
On being quizzed more about the actor, the director replied, “He has this unique feature. He can look young and mature at the same time. I would have loved to cast him in this horror film but unfortunately, the story had no male actors in a prominent role and it was a sequel so there had to be a continuation.
I look at him as the Wolverine, that is the Hugh Jackman of India and am really looking forward to directing him soon as I get a green signal for my next projects as director.”
