In search of Buddha
After the debacle of Kites, I thought most actors and directors would keep away from dabbling with projects which are “international” in their appeal. But I was wrong, all our filmis are dying to make it big in Hollywood, so they will continue to slog over their “global” projects. Apparently you haven’t made it till you have made it in Hollywood.
No wonder there is a long line of actors outside Ashutosh Gowarikar’s office ever since he announced that he is all set to go global with his new ambitious venture Buddha — based on the life of Gautam Buddha.
The film, to be made in English , has a truly global feel with an all Hollywood crew. Ashutosh is on the lookout for the actor to play the title role of Buddha. Now doesn’t this remind us of Conrad Rooks’ film Siddhartha which starred the young, handsome and sexy Shashi Kapoor playing the lead role. Can’t remember, well this is the movie which features Simi Garewal’s controversial nude scene.
Now forget the hero, aren’t we all curious about which beauty will be roped in for the sensual affect. Hope it’s not some ambiguous firang, cos Barbara Mori only managed to make Hrithik’s heart flutter while the audience went to sleep.
