The actor is hoping his best for his next home production `Ashoka.` And it is heard that Shah Rukh recently visited the Tibetan Settlement near Mysore and sought the blessing of the Dalai Lama for the success of the film.

The Dalai Lama having blessed the actor gave him a traditional shawl. And that`s not all. The Dalai Lama has now been invited to se the film, as it has within it teachings of Buddha. Quite an extent to go...but there is no substitute to that highest power.
