Such is life (of Pi)

When chosen to play the title role in Ang Lee’s adaptation of Yann Martel’s Life Of Pi, Delhi-based teenager Suraj Sharma was thrilled.





But soon after his name was announced, Suraj was whisked away overnight to a secluded part of Taiwan. He will undergo intense training there before he faces the camera in late 2011.

He will spend the next two years shuttling between Taiwan, the US and finally Pondicherry, where Life Of Pi will be shot.

So what happens to the teenager’s education? Apparently Suraj can’t attend school in the interim period. He will be provided private tutors for whichever part of the world he is taken to.

Says a source close to the project, “It’s all very well for Ang Lee to talk about Pi’s natural talent and the aura that he carries. Those are just the starting points.

Now begins Suraj’s real training as an actor. Ang Lee has taken complete charge of the boy. For the next two years Suraj will be preparing for his part as Pi, while being completely cut off from his family and friends in Delhi.”

As per the role requirement for Pi’s character, Suraj will be taught to acclimatise himself to long hours of isolation. How that would affect the youngster is something only time will tell.
