PARK CITY — In the midst of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, actors Suraj Sharma and Tony Revolori found themselves comparing notes on Hollywood's awards season, both having made their breakout in films that stormed into the Oscars race. Indian actor Sharma, the lead of 2012's Oscar-nominated "Life of Pi," and Hispanic American actor Revolori, the star of this year's quirky Oscar-nominated "The Grand Budapest Hotel," joked about etiquette required at the Oscars as they discussed their role in "Umrika," which premiered at Sundance last week. "Umrika," the Hindi word for America, follows Ramakant (Sharma), a rural Indian boy whose older brother Udai mysteriously vanishes after he embarks for a new life in America. But soon, detailed letters come from Udai, through which Ramakant and his sheltered rural community live and learn vicariously about "Umrika," a foreign land that embodies the notion that anyone can make their dreams a possibility. "Umrika" is the only Indian entry at this year's Sundance Film Festival, where it is competing in the world drama competition. — Reuters
