Amar Chadha-Patel's 'Willow' character much like Han Solo, Jack Sparrow: writer Jon Kasdan

New Delhi, Dec 8 (PTI) Hollywood screenwriter Jon Kasdan says he was initially unsure about casting Amar Chadha-Patel in his action-adventure series "Willow" but was blown away by the British-Asian actor's dedication to the role of Boorman, a character very much in the same vein as pop culture favourites Han Solo and Jack Sparrow.

But when Chadha-Patel, a relatively unknown face, promised the writer that he will bring something new to his part, Kasdan decided to give the actor a chance.

Calling him an "interesting element" in the story, Kasdan said through Boorman the team's aim was to build a character that becomes the voice of the audience.
