Kannan,
It s not very easy for me as an outsider to believe that BN has originated
this way you describe?

What version of Natya Shastra do you use? Present day translations are said to rely on a manuscript not found earlier than around 1860 AD?
Btw, this government funded institute (ashram) vows the
establishment of a model sanskrit theatre (Natyamandap) as per norms
of Bharata's Natya Shastra with a view to attempt authentic reconstruction
of the ancient style ....
This project aims at preparing critical edition and Hindi and English
translation of Natya Shastra. The editing and translation work of Natya
Shastra is going on. This project is getting the financial support from
the Ford Foundation, U.S.A. .
FUTURE PLANS
* Publication of Natyashastra according to the commentary of Abhinavagupta.

since no time limit is given I imagine it might take many decades to
fulfill this noble aim?
