The Mysskin-Kamal Haasan project is shaping up quite well. The latest reports on this venture, as mentioned by a popular Tamil magazine, are that it is based on the quest for Lord Buddha’s tooth.The story, we hear, is based on Lord Buddha’s tooth that still remains in a Temple in Sri Lanka. There is a popular belief that the land in which the tooth is housed would flourish and due to this there was a severe competition among the kings and wars ensued killing scores of people. This tooth was originally with the Kalinga Kings and after several wars it had finally landed in Sri Lanka.It is still unclear if the story is a period film set in the 500 BC, when it had happened or it would be interwoven with the present day situation. In all probabilities the film’s backdrop could be Sri Lanka.
