Irrfan Khan and Bryce Dallas HowardIrrfan Khan is having the time of his life in Hawaai, shooting the latest installment of the Jurassic Park franchise.

A source close to the actor says he’s been shooting with The Village actress Bryce Dallas Howard.

Says the source from the location, "Bryce is the daughter of the very prolific American director Ron Howard and a rising star in her own right. She plays a stellar role in Jurassic World. Irrfan and Bryce hit it off from the word go."

Apparently, Bryce has a 'voracious curiosity' for Bollywood.

Says the source from location, “Bryce and Irrfan have hit it off like a house on fire. He has been shooting some very difficult stunt scenes on a helicopter in Hawaii, and thereafter spending time between shots with Bryce.”

Interestingly, Bryce has gone to the same acting school as Natalie Portman. Irrfan earlier worked with Natalie in Mira Nair’s short film Kosher, Vegetarian.

Says Irrfan, "I’ve been exceptionally lucky with my heroines. Right from my first film Govind Nihalani’s Drishti where my co-star was the stunning Dimple Kapadia, I’ve worked with some of the most beautiful actresses on this earth."
