He has done such amazing work before his the movies that he&#x27;s been part of were really cool, and he created set pieces for each fight sequence that we have, which were so different from one another, very stylized,&quot; said Chopra Jonas.Meanwhile, Urban said: &quot;The great thing about Rob Alonzo is he&#x27;s able to bring that wealth of experience from multitude of movies that he&#x27;s successfully done.&quot; &quot;As an actor, when you&#x27;re on set, it&#x27;s wonderful to know that the captain of the ship really knows where he&#x27;s steering the ship. And every day.
