[1][2] The film was simultaneously shot in Hindi and Telugu and released in 2008 alongside the English dubbed version The Path Finder.

The film tells the story of Siddhartha Gautama, Prince of Kapilavastu, situated in Nepal, who lived during 6th century B.C.

Ever in the midst of the great Indian religious and spiritual traditions, he noticed what was most needed by all people: Dharma, and non-violence.

He was a lone pathfinder who inspired the religions that eventually spread to China, Japan, and to the United States and Europe as late as the 20th century.

The Hindu wrote that the director breaks new ground in revealing the fascinating story of Prince Siddhartha and his spiritual transformation into the Buddha, the great teacher who changed the entire world.
