Sooni Taraporevala, the author and photographer behind PARSIS, also wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Pulitzer Prize winner Jhumpa Lahiri's novel The Namesake (directed by Mira Nair) which will be out in March 2007 (although it will have a gala preview in New York this November). She has also just written an independent film on Parsis which will begin shooting in the next few months.
Here are a couple of links to interviews with Sooni in which she discusses Parsis and Zoroastrianism, as well as her work on the films Salaam Bombay!, Mississippi Masala, Such a Long Journey, and of course, The Namesake. Read on:
