This via our bud and editor Rod Meade Sperry at Shambhala Sun Space:

As I’ve reported here before, a new Buddha biopic was being planned, and then was shelved, by Indian filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker. It was to be “the most expensive Bollywood movie ever made”; Will Smith’s son was rumored to be playing the young Siddhartha… then, it withered on the vine.

But now it’s back, a website has been launched, the Dalai Lama is reported to be a consultant on the film, and the lead role remains open.

Think you’ve got what it takes to play the Buddha? Happily, the filmmakers state they’re open to “a diverse ethnic-look and colour.” You just need to be “between 20 to 35 years of age.”

If so: submit your headshot, reel, and resume here.
