"Dear Jassi" is Singh's first-ever film set in his home country and, in an interview with AFP, he explained how he waited for just the right time to make it. "I gave my brother a call and said, 'We either make the story right now, or we wait at least two decades for it to become retro.' This was not a subject matter that was going to get solved quickly," he told AFP.

He went on to direct Jennifer Lopez in the sci-fi horror flick"The Cell" and other features including"The Fall" , the Snow White-based"Mirror Mirror" starring Julia Roberts in 2012, and"Self/less" with Ryan Reynolds .
