B K Modi To Unveil New Team For $120-Million Venture
The Economic Times
WHO will make the Buddha smile? Shekhar Kapur and Deepak Chopra have exited the Beverly Hills-based BK Modi's $120-million project Buddha. Ace director Kapur and motivational guru Chopra have been working on the project with an Indian lineup for over two years and their moving out could take the project back to the drawing board.
Mr Modi, chairman of M Corp Global, told ET that he would unveil fresh details on the project at the Cannes Festival later this month. The official word on the Kapur-Chopra exit cites their busy schedule, with Mr Kapur working on at least five projects now. Sources said creative differences, especially on the script developed by Mr Chopra along with Mr Kapur, prompted the parting of ways.
''The faith of a lot of people are involved and there is an element of sensitivity even though it is not a religious film and looks at the Buddha as a man,'' said Mr Modi, with diversified interests of over $2 billion in the ICE sector. The film, now ready by 2008, will have a new international director (not of Indian origin) and an almost entirely global star cast. ''The details will be released at Cannes," he added.
Earlier, the grapevine had hinted at Brad Pitt and Aishwarya Rai playing the lead roles. Mr Modi is leading a consortium of financiers, which is rumoured to include Richard Gere, in rolling out what is perhaps the most ambitious Indian production in Hollywood. The English film, to be shot in Thailand, China and India, will be dubbed into many languages for a worldwide release. Mr Modi is expected to foray into production and distribution in Bollywood with the banner of Spice Films. ''We are finalising a couple of Bollywood projects, and expect to sign up shortly," he said.
