Hollywood star Hugh Jackman is all praise for actor Dev Patel with whom he is sharing screen space in upcoming sci-fi film Chappie.
In the film, which revolves around a sentient robot who has to learn how to survive in a terrifyingly violent and dangerous underworld, Dev and Hugh, both plays engineers but handle rival projects.
"I just loved working with him. He's probably the happiest actor I've ever seen on a set. That guy just bounds into work.
The 46-year-old Australian actor feels the Slumdog Millionaire star's role is tough but he was commendable. "He's got an amazing quality that is infectious. He's incredibly believable, and it's a hard role to play. He's this sort of tech genius who becomes this father, this young parent, who has this proprietary feeling over this robot. It's really well played," Hugh said.

"It was great, and he was totally up for anything. We were sort of ad-libbing a fair bit of that, and he was totally up for it. I just think he's brilliant. I loved working with him and I hope I get to do it again," he said.
