Unlike Hollywood movies, generally Indian history movies generally deal with the known Indian historic heroes rather than the unknown and unheard heroes. So it was surprised when i saw "7aum Arivu" trailer. For the first time in my life, I came to know a great historic Tamil Personality - Bodhidharman.
Who is Bodhidharman?
Who is Bodhidharman?
Wikipedia says,

| Bodhidharma |
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. Scholars believe that Bodhidharma was a Tamil born in Kanchipuram, Tamil nadu
Yes you are reading it right. China got its world-famous Shaolin Monks from Tamilnadu.
So the next time, you see a kung-fu action movie, remember that Tamil culture has its unique impact in it.
