Irrfan Khan and Tabu would be seen together in internationally acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee’s ambitious project Life Of Pi. However, what is surprising or rather shocking is the fact that Tabu would be playing the role of Irrfan’s mother in the film.
Life of Pi is the story of self-discovery of Piscine Molitor ‘Pi’ Patel and is based on the Booker Prize winning novel of the same name. While 17 year old Delhi boy Suraj Sharma would be playing the role of the young Pi, Irrfan Khan would be seen playing the adult Pi.
It may be recalled that Irrfan and Tabu were cast as husband-wife in Mira Nair’s The Namesake, a film which won international appreciation. It would now be interesting to see how the audience takes to Tabu playing Irrfan’s mother in Life Of Pi.
Tabu has said yes to a big lavish historical, a bio-pic on the life of the Mauryan Emperor Ashoka where she’ll play his all-powerful wife who brought the kingdom to its knees.
And playing her royal husband is none other than the Big. B…their second remarkable project together after Cheeni Kam.
Though they belong to totally different generations and have done a generation-challenged and challenging love story together, fate seems to have bonded Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu is a strange inextricable clasp.
Entitled The Legend Of Kunal the film is to be directed by Chandraprakash Diwedi. It will be produced by Mr Bachchan’s company AB Corp Ltd.
