Alia-Aamir in Dharma's next-Osho biopic

We were the first to tell you that director Shakun Batra is planning a film on the life of the late godman, Bhagwan Rajneesh, popularly known as Osho. It was earlier when we informed you that Karan Johar has brought the rights to Osho's life. While the film is still in its scripting stage, we hear that makers have decided to cast Aamir Khan and Alia Bhatt in the lead. Initially, it was the film's casting that generated a lot of interest amongst the fans. Now that the grapevine is abuzz that Aamir Khan will be essaying the role of Osho in the biopic, the excitement around the project has soared high.


Coming in as an interesting development on the project, we now hear that it's Alia Bhatt who is being considered for the role of Ma Anand Sheela, the godman's secretary. A source close to the project informed Filmfare, "Aamir Khan is known to be a perfectionist with his work which is why the makers are planning to take someone exceptionally talented in the younger lot of actors. Alia Bhatt is supremely talented and she can be the perfect choice for the role.


Before this, rumours of makers looking for a foreign actress for the role also did rounds on the internet. Well, we eagerly wait to hear an official announcement soon.

Osho doesn't need Dharmafication

Highly doubt this will happen. Like others said, too bold, for Indian audience. If tamed, will be heavily panned for white washing. 😆

And hypothetically... Aamir as Osho ...mmm maybe.. but I think Irrfan has the right chops... and the super controversial disciple Ma Sheela is made for Kangana!!! Alia is too soft and young to portray the complexity.

Anyway... this ain't happening. So we can chill!

Anyway PRK I mean AK Aamir Khan doing this would be really good.

I'd watch the flick for this.

But as some people pointed out, an Osho biopic made in India would be dishonest and softened. After Wild Wild Country, I just can't imagine a Dharma candy floss production doing justice.
