Jeffery, who also stars in "Pirates of the Caribbean - Salazar's Revenge", will be seen as love interest of actress Pooja Priyanka.

 

The actor says Pooja talked about Dharmendra a lot and that made it "obvious how much of a superstar he was".

 

The 20-minute film, which was shot in Delhi and the next schedule is expected to be in Mumbai, narrates a love story and puts the focus on the role technology plays in a relationship.

 

It was Jeffery's first visit to the country. The actor says he was amazed by the dedication of Indian cast and crew.

 

Talking about his experience, the 28-year-old said: "It was an honour and privilege to shoot in such a beautiful country. It was such an extraordinary experience...I am so looking forward to come back again."

Seth feels Dharmendra's presence has put more value to the project.
