Hrithik to play Buddha in Shyam Benegal’s film (the video is loading, may take long. Please bear with us...)

National award winning director Shyam Benegal who is known for the films like Zubeida, Ankur, Mammo and Sardari Begum, is busy on these days in completing his romantic comedy Mahadev. But it seems Benegal now wants to break free from the low budget circle and venture into bigger sets and costlier costumes. After wrapping Mahadev, Benegal is keen on a big budget film based on the life of Gautam Buddha. The Akbar of tinsel town, Hrithik Roshan, is being roped in for this role.
