Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Siddharth Lama is the real son of Tibetan Buddhist teacher and former Nepal MP T. Y. Lama, making his casting almost documentary-level authentic.
One of the rare mainstream Indian films to treat Tibetan Buddhism with genuine respect rather than exotic window dressing—Sangeeth Sivan reportedly consulted monks extensively.
