Tabu honoured to be a part of ‘Life of Pi’

She’s one of the lucky��Bollywood figures to have had a taste��of Hollywood, with her first International film ‘The Namesake’ (2006). Now, Tabu will be seen in the much awaited forthcoming Ang Lee film ‘Life of Pi’, and is very much excited about it.

Based on the novel written by Yann Martel, Tabu plays the protagonist’s mother. Though a small role, Times of India��report the actress stating��that she feels honoured to work on such a project, and with such a brilliant director, “When you are approached for a film like LOP, you only view the big picture. It is an honour to be a part of a project like this without attaching so much significance to how big my role is; or what it is going to give to me. The real heroes are the story and the director. Together, they are bigger than any actor. When you sign a project like this, you are part of the fabric that makes this story. I’m not the one who is pulling it along. I’m being utilised in a bigger thing.”

Expressing how she looks at the bigger picture, rather than just the progress of her personal career, Tabu goes onto to add, “It’s a matter of pride for me to do things that have such a reach. Films that will always be remembered, not because I’m in it. But because, as films, they will always be remembered. Cinema will always remember��Life Of Pi. I am extremely fortunate to have got all these platforms, all these films. To have worked with people, who have contributed to my growth personally and professionally.”

Also starring Irrfan Khan, ‘Life of Pi’ will release on 21st November.
