Scared of matching up to Tabu, Irrfan and Ang: Adil

Adil Hussain, who plays Pi's Gujarati dad in Life Of Pi, shares the experience of shooting with Ang Lee and also why he's apprehensive about the film's release

Currently, Adil Hussain's resume boasts of 12-odd films, including English Vinglish and Ishqiya, but there's one thing that stands out in it and that's a movie called Life Of Pi directed by the Oscar-winner, Ang Lee. This is the one that's giving Hussain sleepless nights.

"I am a little apprehensive," he admits, when you ask him how he feels about being part of one of the most anticipated movies of the year. "I saw ten minutes of the film and my jaw was hanging open. Someone had to literally come in and say, "Close your jaw". It was so vivid and real, I have never seen anything like this before. Not even Avatar. I'm apprehensive because I hope that I have done justice to my bit. There's Ang Lee, who's won an Oscar twice, and there's Irrfan who's a great actor, and Tabu who's a fine actor, and Suraj who is phenomenal. Rest every department is the finest cream of the film industry around the world. So I wonder, if I've matched up to that. I am a 12-film-old actor — I am still getting a hang of the medium."

Hussain, who originally hails from a small town in Assam, said he underwent accent training before taking on the role of Pi's Gujarati dad, Santosh Patel.

He says that Ang is one of the most humble people he's ever met. "I saw three of his films before I met him. I saw the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The genre of the movie was martial arts, and for somebody to take martial arts to such heights — it was amazing. I was totally awed by his work! When I met him the first time in Mumbai, he turned out to be, the most humble person I'd ever met. No airs. He could've been a person I know, maybe in my village in Assam, who sells vegetables. You know, that kind of politeness and humility that those people have... a lot of affection and love — which is phenomenal," he exclaims.

Produced by Fox Star Studios, Life of Pi releases in 3D and 2D on November 23.
