Talking about what really intrigued him about his character, the actor revealed that he was drawn to the billionaire’s spirit and passion.


“Masrani is an entrepreneur, and he has a unique sense of morality. But, Jurassic World is not a place just to earn money; he nurtured John Hammond’s dream and truly wants to educate the common man through entertainment,” Irrfan said in a statement.

The movie, which also stars Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, is set on Isla Nublar island, the same location as 'Jurassic Park'. It is a direct sequel to the runaway 1993 hit.

The story unfolds 22 years after the events of "Jurassic Park" in a fully functional resort on Isla Nublar that sees more than 20,000 visitors a day. The new park includes a biological preserve, a safari, a zoo, and a theme park type setting and of course unprecedented close access to real, living dinosaurs.

'Jurassic World' releases across Indian theatres in English, Hindi, Tamil and Telugu on Thursday.
