Young Tuvan actor Eduard Ondar was selected out of dozens of pretenders to play the role of the legendary Chingis-Khan in the film by a Yakut director. The film is a joint project of the Yakut Ministry of Culture and the 'Eurasia' political party which supported the idea. The overall budget of the film is 8 000 000 roubles (appr 280 000 dollars). Nothing compared to that of the 'Mongolian' (almost 100 000 000 dollars), a joint Russian-Corean-Mongolian-Kazakh new film directed by Sergei Bodrov, which is declared by their Yakut concurrents to be a populist version of the life of the legendary warrior.
