Most actors dream of landing the lead role in a movie that goes on to earn heaps and heaps of Oscar buzz months before it even hits theaters, especially one directed by Academy Award-winner Ang Lee.

"Growing up in India, I never thought that when I was watching a movie that I'd actually be in one," he says. "When I got the role, my mom and dad, they never believed me. Now they're excited. Now they know it's really happening."



Beside some behind-the-scenes footage and an exclusive interview, the featurette also includes some making-of material, shot as Sharma prepared for the big premiere of "Life of Pi" at the New York Film Festival. "This is like a walk in the park," he says. "A park that's on fire."

"Life of Pi" opens on November21.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
