I don't understand why there is such a frustration among people knowing that Kamal and Rajni is acting in a film based on the life story of St Thomas. Why do we Indians have the attitude of seeing double eye in everything. They are actors and can act in any film and as anybody. Its up to the people to accept or not when the film releases. Why should people equate this to religon. Cinema has nothing to do with religion and the people acting there are just characters. In fact, we should be hoping that their coming together make a good film so that people recognise their art all over the world.

The Thomas who came to India, was NOT actually the Apostle but a trader called Thomas of Canaan! If it had actually been the Apostle, then he would have been more than 90 years old when he landed in India!! He would have been a doddering old man and would have never been able to travel across south india! And it was Thomas the trader from Canaan who actually got killed by a local chieftain because of business rivalry. Thats why the so called tomb of St.Thomas or more correctly Thomas of Canaan(the body was removed from Chennai & buried in Italy/France) is never ever venerated in the West! This is another attempt by the Vatican Mafia to convert the people of India.

Well said, the vatican mafia's attempt to convert people of india.
Bt apostle thomas had alrdy begun spreading the gospel way b/f the vatican surfaced. The romans detested early christianity and also judaism, they wer no converts until whn roman people began to accept the beliefs slowly thru apostle paul.
So it does make sense since only the apostles and people who ar trained by the 12 disciples barring judas the betrayer can only go spread the gospel.
It can also be true tht apostle thomas could hav come to india, since the route to india ws already establishd by arabs and king solomon. Also jews had alrdy been exiled to parts of india i.e kerala, goa.
Bt the doubt lies is why ther ar few followers of apostle thomas and also judaism. Is it b/c of the portugese empire who had mixed xianity w/politics n b.c of tht the beliefs of xianity were distorted and catholicsm ws founded.
Evn portugese empires have been found the reason why jews population ws diminshd, b.c of faith clashes. Also tht could be the answr since catholcism(political xianity) has the been the reason why apostle thomas and its first followers ar not be found.

It is an individual's prerogative to view as he deems fit... isn't it? otherwise, we would not have these stupid movies in the first place...
