Bachchans in Buddha?

Seems like almost all the directors these days want to make at least one historical film for themselves. A few days back there was news doing the rounds that Shyam Benegal, who has many Indian and international awards to his credit was going to make a film on Buddha, and there were talks going on with the Roshan scion Hrithik for doing the protagonist's role.

It was later reported that the director was in the very early stages of scripting the story and that he has not met or spoken to any hero regarding the role yet, but considered that Hrithik would be an apt choice of this role.

The rumor mills were also spinning with the news that another NRI director Pan Nalin was going to make Buddha, and talks were going on with Aishwarya Rai to act as Yasodhara, Buddha's wife, because this story will be directed from Yasodhara's angle. Well, there are more reports on this front.

It is reported that Pan Nalin is in talks with Mahindra & Mahindra Group which is going to diverge into the movie business. There is news doing the rounds that the director, Pan Nalin, wants stars with global acclaim for his film and that he would want to direct Amithab and the Bachchan Bahu, Aishwarya as King Shudhodhana and Yasodhara respectively in the film.

No news has being emerging from the Bachchan parivar though regarding this. We are aware that Pa and bahu are too busy with a handful of films, and it would be the director's knack if he gets the two biggies of Bollywood to act in his film.
