Irrfan Khan and Lakshen Sucameli
Top choice
A decade after his dream project of making a feature film with Irrfan Khan as Osho Rajneesh fell through, Italian filmmaker Lakshen Sucameli has made a documentary on the controversial spiritual guru. A compressed version of the docu-series was screened at a film festival, where Sucameli said if he had his way, he would have made the film with Irrfan, who, according to him, was the apt choice to play Osho.
“Irrfan Khan was my first choice, and he liked Osho. And if I was the producer and if he was still alive, he would be the first choice. The first time I met Osho was in 1978. Since then, I have had two purposes: to know myself and share his vision. When I started working as a filmmaker, I knew I would one day make a film about him.” According to Sucameli, the Indian producers were not serious about an international co-production at the time. “They are so satisfied with Bollywood. Even if they know Osho, they didn’t really warm up to the idea of doing an international co-production,” he added.
