By any reckoning, project Dara Shikoh has all the ingredients of an epic movie: a philosopher prince who might have given India a different destiny, palace intrigues, bigotry, scheming generals amidst a rich flowering of art, architecture and music. All with an ambience of a 17th century populace - people who were witness to the bloody climax of a deadly power struggle. Calcutta-based filmmaker Gautam Ghoshs ambitious project to resurrect a poignant chapter of Indias history on celluloid has naturally stirred critical interest. While Ghosh doesnt welcome questions about his concept, theres more to the buzz: the project envisages a tie-up with Hollywood with Tom Cruise playing one of the roles.
