I would have to live there, get an agent and look for work. I didn’t want to make that kind of an effort. It’s too much of a risk for me to leave what I have here and go looking for work there. Irrfan seems to have made a smooth transition to Hollywood. I believe that the opportunities that have come my way are because of the work that I’ve done here. I considered them like I consider any regular film. I didn’t do Namesake, or for that matter Life of Pi, hoping it would take me to Hollywood. The general perception is that you didn’t capitalise on the opportunity that Namesake offered… of breaking into Hollywood. But I think Suraj is very lucky to have had this kind of a break. Suraj (Sharma) had the big challenge of seeing this film through and I’m sure it was tough for him - physically and mentally.

It was very exciting because it was a new experience for me. If he needs to do 30 takes to get a shot right, he will. He is interested in what’s going on inside a character’s mind rather than the physical space. If you look at him, you can almost see his mind constantly ticking away and you don’t want to break that rhythm. I don’t want to let go of a film because my role is not long enough.Īnything particular about the experience of working with Ang that has stayed with you?Īng is constantly working. Aise toh I would never be a part of anything interesting. When there are only four characters in the film –– mother, father, boy and tiger, how insignificant can any role be? Each time I do a film, it doesn’t have to revolve around my character. Why should it? When I received an e-mail offering me the role, I knew that the film wasn’t ‘Life of Pi’s Mother’. After I saw Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I wanted to move to China and do a film with him! I wanted to live that dream. None of his characters –– even if they have just one scene –– are frivolous. When Ang Lee is at the helm you know that you’re going to be a part of something big and significant. I knew I couldn’t go wrong with this film. Also, it’s a character that I thought would come easily to me. What was it about Life of Pi that caught your attention?Īng Lee.

So what if I haven’t had a release in two years? Anyway, I’m not an actress who did 20 films every year! I like working at my own pace. What Kind Of Roles Do You Want To See Tabu In?Īrgggh! I hate that question.
