A film titled "The Light- Vivekananda", which portrays the transition from a young Vivekananda to one of the greatest preachers of all time, will be presented on the silver screen by director Tutu Sinha. The historic Town Hall in Kolkata was transformed to look like the Art Institute of Chicago, where Vivekananda delivered his famous speech in 1893, as part of shooting for the film.
Sinha says it will be shot in Bengali and Hindi but producers are planning to dub it in 18 other languages.
"I have tried to recapture the event-filled life of
Swami Vivekananda, starting from when he was a little boy called 'Bile', to Narendranath Dutta in his youth when he undertook visits to northern India to his last days," Sinha told reporters on the set at Town Hall.
