Keanu Reeves acts “Rama”?
just read a newspaper article that hollywood actor Keanu Reeves will play a main roll ‘Rama’ in the upcoming movie Hanuman.
well, i haven’t watched any Indian movie yet and not so interested in to see one, but this news is quite shocking. seems it doens’t finalized yet (not sure), maybe it just become another rumor like he plays a roll of Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings (heh, when i first seen this rumor in theonering.net, i thought this movie will go like a SF-fantasy)… well i’m not a movie critic or even close, and i’m pretty much sure he’s a seasoned actor, but i still see Keanu Reeves fits sci-fi role
reading a story book version of Ramayana is not enough to say i know ramayan, yet i have a bit of doubt whether this movie will go along with Indian taste – maybe it would turn out to be totally different story of original
i asked some indian friends for their feelings on this – hehe.
“i didnt like that he play that role”
“he cannot perform as indian perform
it is like we play foreign role “
“india is a place where you can sell anything and everything under sun..
“
etc etc… hehe, it is really ‘ayyo rama’
