The star said, “Yeah, I am developing a feature film with Barry Levinson. He did Rain Man and he is an iconic American director. And we are developing it as the character of Sheila, who was this guru (Osho) who originated from India, his right-hand woman and she was just devious and created a whole cult in America and brought people here. He was called Osho. I am developing that next for me to star in and produce in which I think would be really cool.”

The inspiration of the role comes from the Netflix documentary ‘Wild Wild Country’, based on the infamous controversial Indian guru Osho, also known as Bhagwaan Shree Rajneesh. Ma Anand Sheela was his personal assistant and played a pivotal role in their community of followers.
