Shekhar Kapur plans film series on Lord Krishna

He gave Indian cinema gems like ‘Masoom’, ‘Mr. India’ and ‘Bandit Queen’, before setting out to chase his dreams and desires in the international film world. Now pining to make a movie in his home country, Oscar nominated filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says his "big dream" in life is to make a movie series on Hindu deity Lord Krishna. “It is Krishna. It's my big dream to make a series of films on the life of Krishna. In today’s context, the story of Krishna is really very important,” the 71-year-old revealed.

“Krishna is a lover, he is a warrior, he's eternal... Imagine to be able to tell teachings of the Bhagvad Gita... To put all of that together... That moment when Krishna is revealing his truth out to Arjun on the battlefield of Kurukshetra when Arjun is unwilling to let go of the bow and arrow. To be able to put that on screen will be incredible. Anyway, we will talk about that later,” he said, heaving a sigh of hope that this project will come alive in due time.
