Actor Harrison Ford has heaped praise on his "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" director J.J. Abrams.
"He's very thoughtful and very wise about human nature and the development of character and relationships. He brings a real sincerity and emotional understanding to relationships, which is something I was very pleased to see," Ford, who reprised his role as Han Solo in the film, said about Abrams in a statement.
"He's an enormously skilled filmmaker and very efficient director and producer. So it has been a real pleasure to work with him and all of the members of his team as this film has gone on," he added.
The film also stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong'o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels and Max Von Sydow.
It has been produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Bryan Burk, besides Abrams, with Jason McGatlin as its executive producer.
The movie's script is written by Abrams, Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt.
The seventh instalment of the popular "Star Wars" movie series, is slated for a release in India this Christmas, on December 25.
