Remember Suraj Sharma? The guy Richard Parkar warms up to in Life Of Pi? The Indian actor is making a lot of headway in the West.
After Million Dollar Arm, the lad will now be seen in Emmy Award winning show The Homeland. It will be the fourth season of the popular show.
We hear the Life Of Pi actor plays a Pakistani medical student who assists Claire Dannes. The fourth season will be shot in South Africa and have Islamadad and Kabul in the backdrop. The season will be aired on Star World Premiere for India and will be simultaneously aired for American audience.
From being just a reluctant seventeen year old at the Life Of Pi auditions who bagged the role beating his own brother, Suraj Sharma is making good noise in Hollywood.
Unlike in India, the transition from films to a television show isn’t considered a step down in career. It will only make him even more popular. We have heard it isn’t a one off appearance but a regular one. So be prepared to watch Suraj more often on your television sets.
