Sonu Sood To Do Ang Lee's Next Movie
|
|
 Bollywood actor Sonu Sood received a lot of appreciation for his
performance in Salman Khan starrer Dabangg. His performance has caught
the attention of several filmmakers. It seems that the actor has been
successful in impressing the Hollywood directors too. Taiwanese American
film director, Ang Lee of Hulk fame, has reportedly cast Sonu Sood in
his next project.
The internationally acclaimed director is all
set to make a film on Yann Martel’s Booker Prize-winning novel, ‘Life of
Pi’. After playing the baddie Cheddi Singh, Sonu will now play the role
of Pi’s father in this film by Ang Lee. The film is likely to start
rolling in Pondicherry by next year.
The director has reportedly
signed a 17-year-old newcomer from Delhi to play the role of the
16-year-old Piscine Molitor 'Pi' Patel, aka Pi. Sonu's role in the film
is the second most important one in the storyline.
Sonu received a
call from Ang Lee himself after he had watched Sonu's work. He wanted
to meet the actor and they met at Taj Land's End two weeks back.
However, the only disadvantage is that Sonu looks too young to play the
father of a 16-year-old boy. Moreover, the actor needs to lose his hard
earned eight packs to play the 'papa' role.
The actor confirmed
the news that he has met with Ang Lee for an important role in the movie
based on ‘Life Of Pi’ but he was not prepared to disclose any more
details.
Sonu was quoted saying that it was a huge privilege to meet a great filmmaker like Ang Lee, who is so humble.
