Zee TV's 'Buddha' unit to visit His Holiness Dalai Lama in Dharamshala! (View Pics)
Producer B. K. Modi's ambitious project, Buddha, traces the complete journey of Lord Gautam Buddha right from his birth till his enlightenment and beyond. In the current track, Buddha is trying out different paths of salvation after leaving his palace. The show has gained popularity for its unique subject, the performances of actors and the props being used. Buddha has been a source of inspiration for millions of people across the globe. The show has completed 30 episode on Sunday. Siddhartha’s transforming into Gautam Buddha and enlightenment will happen after two weeks.
Very soon, the unit of the show is going to visit His Holiness Dalai Lama. Himanshu Soni, who plays Lord Buddha in the series, confirms, “In the show my character is under the process of transformation from Siddhartha to Buddha. From the time I started doing Buddha it has been my heart’s desire to meet Dalai Lama. Since producer B.K. Modi is a follower of Buddha and the Dalai Lama, I am getting a good opportunity to meet the great Buddhist monk in person."
On being asked what he intends to ask Dalai Lama, Himanshu said, “I am going to be so mesmerized by his sheer presence and aura that I might get speechless before him. Working in 'Buddha' has changed my attitude towards life”.
Himanshu Soni (Buddha), Neha Kaul Uppal (Amrapali) and Abhiram Nain (Ajatshatru) would be going with creative producer Ridhwana and producer B.K. Modi to meet the Dalai Lama. They would also do a skit there.
Creative producer Ridhwana told us something about their plans. " This is a very special moment for us and the entire Buddha team. Meeting with His Holiness Dalai Lama (HHDL) was long overdue and we are extremely grateful to him for giving us the time. As the Buddha is now on the path of the enlightenment, it becomes very important and insightful for us to meet with the man himself. The entire team including me is very excited. We would also be discussing with HHDL about his thoughts on our show and the suggestions to take 'Buddha' to the world market. This is indeed a very special moment for everyone," Ridhwana revealed.
We wish Team Buddha successful innings and good luck for their new endeavour.
