Before Aamir Khan Announces Film on Osho Rajneesh, Priyanka Chopra Spills Beans on Her Ma Anand Sheela’s Biopic
Priyanka Chopra's next big movie will remind you of Netflix's Wild Wild Country.
Expect the unexpected when it comes to Priyanka Chopra. The actress is currently gearing up for her third Hollywood release, Isn't it Romantic? and she also has to wrap her Bollywood project, The Sky is Pink. However, while we eagerly wait for these movies to hit the screens, PeeCee is already in talks for her next big project - a biopic on Ma Anand Sheela. Wondering who's this lady in the question? Well, she was a personal assistant to Osho Rajneesh since 1981. Did the name ring any bells? Yes, the same name that we associate with Netflix's documentary, Wild Wild Country. Also, Thugs of Hindostan actor, Aamir Khan was keen to step into his shoes and make a biopic on the same.

Priyanka who was recently a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show was asked to reveal some deets about her next project. While her project with Chris Pratt, Cowboy Ninja Viking, is shelved temporarily, she has another interesting script to work on. The actress will work with Academy Award nominee Barry Levinson for a biopic on Ma Anand Sheela who was a right hand to the controversial cult leader, Osho. The film will be narrated from her point of view and how she, as a devious leader, created a cult in America. Her history goes back a long way and we wonder if the actress would narrate details about her life after 1985 when she decided to leave the organisation for good. Or focus on that chapter of her life when she was imprisoned for 20 years but released on parole after 29 months.

The story and the topic definitely sound intriguing and Priyanka would justify the role aptly. Interestingly, there were stories about Aamir Khan signing a biopic on Osho and if Alia Bhatt would be a part of it. While there's no confirmation from the actor's side yet, we're glad PeeCee decided to surprise her fans with this announcement that will be produced under her own banner, Purple Pebble Pictures.
