<p>Harrison Ford had some wonderful words to share about veteran Indian actor Amrish Puri. The late actor had starred alongside Ford in <em>Indiana Jones</em> <em>and the Temple of Doom</em> in 1984. Ford, who will be reprising his iconic role of archaeologist Indiana Jones one last time in the upcoming film<em> Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny</em>, called Puri a charming and sophisticated man.</p>

<p>In <em>Temple of Doom</em>, Puri starred as the antagonist Mola Ram, an occult priest who is into human sacrifices and was pitted against Ford's character. Set in India, it was the second film in the popular action-adventure franchise, directed by Steven Spielberg.<br />
<br />
During a recent interaction with the press, Ford was asked about his experience working with Amrish Puri, considered one of India's most celebrated actors. "He was a wonderful person, a very charming man. (He was) nothing like the character that he played in our film. Very sophisticated. I really admired him and enjoyed working with him. We had a good time together. And yes, I remember when he passed,” Ford, 80, told PTI in a virtual roundtable interview.<br />
<br />
Puri passed away in 2005. Though known primarily for his negative roles in hit films like Mr India, Vishwatma and Tridev, Puri also left a lasting impression in movies such as Mandi, Pardes and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
In his autobiography The Act of Life, Puri revealed that he was initially disinterested in the part of Mola Ram. Interestingly, Temple of Doom didn’t release in India and the media at home criticised Puri and actor Roshan Seth for being “anti-national” for appearing in the film.<br />

Harrison Ford remembers Indiana Jones co-actor Amrish Puri: A very charming man

<p>Harrison Ford's decision to reprise his role as<em> Indiana Jones</em> for the fifth time in<em> Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny </em>was driven by his age and the desire for an ambitious final installment. At the age of 81, Ford says wanted the character to reflect the reality of being an old man in the film. Ford told Esquire, “I wanted an ambitious movie to be the last one. And I don’t mean that we didn’t make ambitious movies before — they were ambitious in many different ways. But not necessarily as ambitious with the character as I wanted the last one to be.” During the filming of Dial of Destiny, Ford encountered challenges that highlighted his age.&nbsp;</p>

<p>One instance was when he injured his shoulder during a fight scene with Mads Mikkelsen, resulting in a two-week production shutdown and an additional six weeks of recovery. In the film, there is a thrilling action sequence where Indiana Jones rides a horse through the bustling streets of New York City during the 1969 ticker-tape parade honoring the moon landing. As the scene was coming to an end, Harrison Ford, portraying Indiana Jones, felt the hands of three stunt workers providing support from the ground while he was on horseback.</p>

<p>Perplexed by their unexpected touch, Ford jokingly remarked, "I thought, 'What the f**k?' Like I was being attacked by gropers." He looked down and saw the three stunt guys ensuring his stability on the horse's stirrup.&nbsp;</p>
