19-year-old Indian actor Suraj Sharma who played the main role in Anglee's Life Of Pi, is the only male actor to have been nominated for the BAFTA EE Rising Star Award, which is given in recognition of exceptional talent and ambition portrayed by young actors.

British actresses Andrea Riseborough and Juno Temple, Swedish actress Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen from the US are the others to have been nominated along with Suraj.

The results will be announced at the EE British Academy Film Awards in 2013 based on the votes by the public.

We wish Suraj Sharma, who is current studying Philosophy (Hons) at the St Stephen's College in Delhi, all the very best.
