MUMBAI: Director Ang Lee has said that his latest offering Life of Pi would have been incomplete had it not been in 3D format.
"It may have been cheap in 2D, but the output would‘ve been unsatisfactory. Thanks to 3D, I managed to take this film beyond imagination and new possibilities," Lee said when promoting his film.
To be released on 21 November, the film is based on the novel of the same name by Canadian writer Yann Martel. Its story tells the tale of a young boy named Pi, who is the only person to survive a sinking cargo ship. He finds himself on a lifeboat with a hyena, a zebra, an orangutan, and a Bengal tiger.
Delhi-based Indian boy Suraj Sharma plays young Pi in the film while Tabu and Irrfan Khan feature in key roles.
