From Raj Kapoor to Osho: Such a long
journey
Rashmi Kumar
Pune, October 28: His love for the Indian
film industry is only six-years-old. But his hero and
inspiration has always been Raj Kapoor. “We used to dance to
his songs. Although we speak Hebrew,
we could relate so well with Indian film songs,” says an
excited Doron Eran, an Israeli film
producer-director for whom India is the most sought after
creative destination.
His endearing love for Bollywood was sealed
at the closing ceremony of the 3rd Asian 3rd Asian Film
Festival at City Pride, Kothrud. He wants a co-producer from
here...” I want to bring together two
cultures and distribute it worldwide, so I’ve offered some
Bollywood producers to come and join
me,’’ he adds.
The film will focus on the ‘‘mysterious
life’’ of the disciples of Rajneesh at Osho Ashram.
“This
will surely be an Indo-Israeli production. The idea came through
when I was in Delhi in 1996 for
the premier of White Night, where a friend told me that if ever I
wanted to make a film on
spirituality, I should head straight for the Osho Ashram,”
says Eran.
Shooting begins in Pune March-April, 2006.
Mysticism and spirituality are close to Eran’s
heart. God’s Sandbox, his 90-minute venture
showcased at the festival, won Eran awards for best film, best
director and best screenplay at the
Manchester Film Festival.
While the film primarily deals about various
aspects of spirituality and a young girl’s search for
truth, peace and love, it also depicts subtle shades of how life
is best led when surrendered into
the hands of God. “I wanted to show how time takes control
over all things.”
Although Eran has no qualms about agreeing
that filmmaking is an expensive art form to which one
could easily lose millions if it didn’t work, the enthusiasm
to start his next venture in Pune is
indefatigable. He’s hopeful that masala Bollywood will have
many takers for his spiritual leanings!

Rice dumps spirits for spiritual
world
New York | October 25, 2005 12:01:13 AM IST
Gothic fiction writer Anne Rice, known for
her steamy, blood-soaked vampire tales, says her books
from now on will reflect her renewed faith in God.
Her latest book, Christ the Lord:
Out of Egypt, is about the 7-year-old Jesus, written in
his own
voice, she told Newsweek magazine.
Rice, 65, said a health scare sent her back
to the Catholic Church and I promised that from now on
I would write only for the Lord.
Rice, whose 25 books have sold 136 million
copies, said she was in despair when she wrote Interview
with a Vampire and her other otherworldly tomes.
Although she will most likely lose some
readers with her new direction, others may find Jesus
satisfies their spiritual needs better than the vampire Lestat,
she said.
In the afterward of Christ the Lord:
Out of Egypt Rice calls her subject the ultimate
supernatural
hero. The ultimate immortal of them all.
