According to contactmusic.com, Kapur visited the spiritual leader at the end of 2004 and Dalai Lama gave him permission to turn his life story into a film.

Kapur plans to pay tribute to the Dalai Lama by creating his movie double using computer generated images rather than ask an actor to play him.
