The Mysskin-Kamal Haasan project
is shaping up quite well. The latest
reports on this venture, as mentioned
by a popular Tamil magazine, are
that it is based on the quest for
Lord Buddha’s tooth.The story,
we hear, is based on Lord Buddha’s
tooth that still remains in a temple
in Sri Lanka. There is a popular
belief that the land in which the
tooth is housed would flourish and
due to this there was severe competition
among the kings which resulted in
wars killing scores of people. This
tooth was originally with the Kalinga
kings and after several wars it
had finally landed in Sri Lanka.It
is still unclear if the film would
be a period one or whether it would
be interwoven with the present day
situation. In all probabilities
the film’s backdrop could
be Sri Lanka. |
