Hyderabad: Jason Sanjay has shared his dream of directing his father, actor Vijay, in a Hollywood film someday.
The aspiring filmmaker also revealed that he would love to pair the Tamil superstar with Hollywood action star Jason Statham, calling it one of his biggest cinematic ambitions.
During an interview with Behindwoods TV, Jason was asked which Tamil actor he would cast if Hollywood action star Jason Statham were to collaborate on one of his films.
Without hesitation, the aspiring filmmaker replied, “My dad (Vijay). It will be a great collaboration.”
The aspiring filmmaker jokingly remarked that his response would likely spark a flood of memes and jokes on social media.
When Jason, who is all set to make his directorial debut with ‘Sigma’, was asked why he chose filmmaking over acting, he said, “Since childhood, I had access to sets. That was my privilege. I had good exposure. I started to feel comfortable there. I normalised going to sets as part of my life. So, the interest sparked from there.”
He added, “At first, I wanted to become a pilot. In between, I was also interested in becoming a cricketer. It was during Class 11 and 12 that I started showing an interest in cinema. In college, I wanted to pursue filmmaking.”
He continued, “Since childhood, I loved storytelling, randomly narrating incidents to my friends. Slowly, I started scribbling down these ideas. Eventually, it became a hobby. I went to Canada to learn filmmaking. There, I understood what I wanted to do.”
