Harish had previously stated that he had never seen any of his co-stars' films. "To be honest, I'd never seen any of their films," he admitted. I'd seen one of Angelina Jolie's movies, but not all of them; I can't sit still for long periods of time. They were unknown to me. Immediately following my audition, I was called in for a table read, and all of these stars were present except Angelina. Everyone was present. From the beginning, I felt like I was a member of the family."
