Shekhar Kapur and Ashutosh Gowariker have joined hands
for Spice Studio's mega project ‘Buddha’ which was earlier was to be
made into a film is now being produced as a mega tele-serial.
It is one of the most ambitious Indian projects and
Shekhar-Ashutosh has been working on the research and script development
since a long time.
‘Buddha’ will encompass 50 episodes and will be aired on Zee TV.
The series will be a bio pic of one of the greatest Indian personalities
ever, Buddha. It is based on the historical facts and will tell the
story of prince Siddharth and his dramatic transition into Buddha.
“Spice Studios is committed to make ‘Buddha’. We know that its not
easy to make something of this significance and scale. Now we have the
benefit of years of research on the subject. We realized that the scope
of television today is larger than films and we wanted ‘Buddha’ to reach
out to the largest number of people possible. Only television can give
us that reach. Big names have contributed to this project and finally we
are able to make it happen,” says BK Modi.
‘Buddha’ will be produced at a mega scale involving authentic
recreation of the period details. Each episode has been planned as a one
hour film.
