Suraj Sharma was not going to pass tests in the film, but went with his brother and decided to appear, since he still spends his time. From 3000 young people Ang Lee chose him for the lead role.

Special technical device allows you to create fifty types of waves of various shapes and sizes designed for shooting pool.





The film is shot entirely on land: Ang Lee, a national hero in Taiwan, with no problems got right to work in an abandoned airport in Taichung.



The tape was shot in chronological order, to Suraj Sharma could gradually lose 13 kg, while his character remained on the lifeboat. To do this, the actor had previously overweight.



Anga Lee managed to remove only 24 scenes with this tiger. This wild animal appears only in 10% of the film, the rest of his plans to play a three-dimensional animated model. Suffice it to say that the actor Suraj Sharma (Pi) never in the shooting did not meet in the same frame with a trained predator, and in fact his hero Richard Parker plenty of scenes together. Tiger like a zebra, a hyena, and an orangutan, created in the schedule to numerous reference materials.
