It's
no
rocket
science
to
say
that
both
Irrfan
Khan
and
Tabu
are
powerhouse
of
talents.
And
with
the
two
of
them
coming
together
in
a
single
film
means
something
that
the
film
itself
will
be
a
powerful
film
that
matches
and
does
full
justice
to
them.
Till
now,
there
were
two
films
that
were
made
with
them,
both
earning
rave
reviews
for
its
makers.
They
were
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
Maqbool
and
Mira
Nair's
The
Namesake.
This
pair
will
now
be
seen
in
the
Ang
Lee's
adaptation
of
Yann
Martel's
bestseller
Life
of
Pi.
The
market
rumours
have
it
that
Irrfan
will
be
playing
the
role
of
Pi's
father
and
will
be
paired
opposite
the
talented
Tabu.
It
may
be
recalled
that
in
the
recent
past,
it
was
Sonu
Sood
and
Sushant
Singh,
who
were
being
considered
for
the
role,
which
eventually
landed
up
on
Irrfan
Khan's
laps.
When
contacted,
Irrfan's
manager
confirmed
the
news,
but
said
that
the
official
announcement
is
yet
to
be
done.
