The 7th Sense is about the super machine, that bought to India. Sources say that Suriya is playing three different roles – a Buddhist monk, a circus artist and a scientist. The Buddhist character is much associated to the history and tradition. The Buddhist monk is said to be a Tamil (Pallave) prince-turned-monk named ‘Bodhidharma’, who is credited with the establishment of ‘Zen’ in the world. In the 14th century, the Tamil prince from Kancheepuram travelled to China and became a well-respected monk there.
The director said that “Bodhidharma is a martial arts exponent from Kanchipuram. People are still worshiping Bodhidharma in China. In order to give life to the role, Suriya underwent strenuous workouts to get his six packs.”
AR Murugadoss said that they had done lot of research on ‘Bodhidharma’ prior to the start of the film. The role was intense and required lot of practice and Suriya has done a great job in the role. 7th Sense has been produced by Udhayanidhi Stalin and distributed by Red Giant Movies. The movie is slated for release on October 26, 2011. Sources say that the 7th Sense is the most expensive movie in Suriya’s film career till date. Recently the audio has been lavishly launched and music scored by Harris Jayaraj.
Bodhidharma was a Buddhist monk who lived during the 5th/6th century and is traditionally credited as the leading patriarch and transmitter of Zen to China. According to Chinese legend, he also began the physical training of the Shaolin monks that led to the creation of Shaolinquan. However, martial arts historians have shown this legend stems from a 17th century qigong manual known as the Yijin Jing.
Little contemporary biographical information on Bodhidharma is extant, and subsequent accounts became layered with legend, but most accounts agree that he was a Tamil prince from southern India’s Pallava Empire. Scholars have concluded his place of birth to be Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu and he was also known as Mohan Cigarraga in Tamil Nadu. After becoming a Buddhist monk, Bodhidharma traveled to China. The accounts differ on the date of his arrival, with one early account claiming that he arrived during the Liú Sòng Dynasty (420–479) and later accounts dating his arrival to the Liáng Dynasty (502–557). Bodhidharma was primarily active in the lands of the Northern Wèi Dynasty (386–534). Modern scholarship dates him to about the early 5th century.
