"I am developing a feature with Barry Levinson. He is an iconic American director. We are developing it (from the perspective of) Sheela who is this guru who originated from India. She was his right-hand woman and she was devious. She created a whole cult in America. He was called Osho. I don’t know if you have heard of him. I am developing that next for me to star in and produce,” said the Jai Gangaajal (2016) actress.
