Harrison Ford and Chandran Rutnam


"I loved shooting in Sri Lanka. That was the most extraordinary place.

I loved the culture of Sri Lanka. We were in a small town and I had the opportunity to eat the local food and ride on an elephant and do the weird little stuff that one would normally never have the chance to do."

- Harrison Ford

"Sri Lanka is fantastic because it has beautiful locations. In a two hour journey, you could find different locations and there is so much cooperation on the part of the people.

I am particularly impressed with Chandran Rutnam. Apart from the way he helps me, he understands the requirements as he himself is a filmmaker."
