Rama: the rise of dharma

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The film has yet to be produced with the only references actually referring to the film is a blog. Not indication that this will actually be made or become notable Peter Rehse (talk) 08:20, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. The blog has articles, but not really enough to show how this is notable, as they're both two articles that only say that someone plans to make a film. I'm going to go ahead and remove the blatant falsehoods from the article because come on- Ang Lee is not going to be co-directing this. The only place that even remotely mentions him is in the article where the director hopes that Lee will come and direct with him. It's kind of the same type of thing where someone will mention that they hope that ________ actor will come and marry them, when it comes down to it. It's almost enough to where I'm tempted to tag it as a hoax, but I do think that the film is real. I just think that everything else in the article (Jackie Chan to perform, Lee to direct) is stretching the truth so much that it's pretty much a lie, possibly in an attempt to drum up publicity for the film.

 * What's also troublesome is that despite a complete lack of confirmation of any actor starring in the film, someone is going around and adding this film to various filmographies of big name actors such as Rajinikanth and Tony Jaa. I've removed the claims, as there is nothing to substantiate them, but I'd like to ask (since it's most likely that this was done by the film's crew/director, meaning that they'll likely check in on this page) that anyone adding this please stop. Don't re-add these until the film has actually started active filming and we have multiple non-primary sources that confirm their participation and aren't just listing rumors.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete As even IMDb tells us the film project is "in development" I think it is safe to state that at the most generous, this article is simply Too Soon. Interestingly, the film's official blog does share sources speaking about the film being "in development", supporting my feeling this is TOO SOON.   Schmidt,  Michael Q. 11:06, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
