When Music legends visited temples in India
As per a report in The Juggernaut, The legend visited temples in India to get inspiration for her role. Giving her views about India, she told Madhu Jain, “But the more I saw here, the more I realized that there was something I could relate to. Take away all the cars and the bikes, take it all away and you are very close to a time in my own life.” The film was called The Goddess.
Tina’s upcoming film
As per the media report, The supernatural was a theme of the movie, which also starred Matthew Modine.

About the movie, Tina had told Eastern Eye, “I was told about a year ago that Merchant Ivory were doing a film which had something to do with legends and goddesses, I said, yes, yes.” “Everyone expects Tina Turner to come back with a new album, but I will give them this movie.”
About the film and Tina, Merchant-Ivory said, “The film has such energy that only Tina could have played the lead role. I think she is natural; the greatest gift we have received in the world of music and dance. In real life, too, she’s a Goddess.”
However, Ismail Merchant’s untimely passing following surgery prevented the movie from ever being filmed. In 2010, there was some rumour that the movie may be resurrected. However, it quickly subsided.
