After
working with established actors like Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan
and Abhishek Bachchan, director Ashutosh Gowariker wants to cast a newcomer for
his next film, Buddha. The film will bring one of the most iconic characters in
history on the big screen. A source says, “Buddha is an epic story
that will appeal to young as well as a mature audience worldwide. After many
discussions with the producer, Ashutosh came to the conclusion that only a
newcomer can do justice to the role. He didn’t want any established actor
for the film as he didn’t want a star’s image to come in the way of
the character. That’s when he decided to have a contest.”
Commenting on the film, producer Dr Bhupendra Kumar Modi says, “This film
is about a man who brought India to the world’s notice by prophesising a
philosophy that can get the world together as one family. Making this kind of a
film is the need of the hour because of our stressful life.
The youth of today can connect
with the search undertaken by Siddhartha in the film.” Elaborating on the
film, director Ashutosh Gowariker says,”I have always been fascinated with
the story of Prince Siddhartha who renounced his luxurious life and family to
search for an answer about what causes human suffering. He subsequently attained
enlightenment and came to be known as Gautam Buddha. I need a fresh actor who
can portray the innocence of Prince Siddhartha and the compassion of the
enlightened one. This is why we have this worldwide search. I welcome actors
from all over the world to visit our website, www.buddha-movie.com , download
the sample scenes and upload their audition videos and pictures.”
