Suraj Sharma to star in Homeland 4

Indian actor Suraj Sharma, best known for his titular character in ‘Life of Pi’, has joined the starcast of popular terror drama ‘Homeland 4’.

The actor will play the recurring role of Aayan Ibrahim, a Pakistani medical student, who crosses paths with CIA agent Carrie Mathison. The action thriller series has also tapped Corey Stoll and Laila Robins as cast members, reported Ace Showbiz.

The ‘House of Cards’ star will guest star as Sandy Bachman, the CIA chief of station in Pakistan who’s a rising star within the agency, while Robins landed a series regular role as Martha Boyd, US ambassador to Pakistan. ‘Homeland’ will begin production for season four later this month in Cape Town, South Africa, for a fall premiere. The new season will likely see Carrie on a field mission after she took a job as chief of station in the Middle East.
