Esteemed filmmaker Shyam Benegal is all set to make a historic film based on the life and time of Gautam Buddha, which will be jointly produced by Mumbai-based Beyond Dreams Entertainment and Sri Lanka’s Light of Asia Foundation. The project which will roll next year will be based in Sri Lanka, and will cost a whopping 90 crores. Says Shyam Benegal, “The film has a global subject and will tell the story of the journey of Prince Siddharth to Gautam Buddha. Buddha’s message on non violence and peace is as relevant as that of Gandhi in these present days.” With the number of Gandhi films being made these days, Gautam Buddha may prove to be an interesting concept, as well. After all, everyone seems to be going spiritual these days! And the lessons learnt in the process are indeed priceless.
