The producer has acquired the rights of Rashid Maxwell’s book, The Only Life: Osho, Laxmi and a Journey of the Heart. “Even when her protege Sheela usurped her position, Laxmi’s devotion to her master was absolute,” Mittra said. The show will be helmed by Bamfaad (2020) director Ranjan Chandel. Talking about parting with rights of his book, author Maxwell said: "The vision and work of Osho and its revolutionary effect on Laxmi and his people needs to be widely understood."
Cast and creative crew details are awaited, except that the series will be directed by Ranjan Chandel. "Ma Laxmi was the first secretary of Osho and the one who was instrumental in Acharya Rajneesh's transformation into Bhagwan Osho. Ma Sheela was her protege. Rashid's bestseller book, the rights of which I have picked up, makes up for a compelling story," said Rahul Mittra who will produce the film with Jar Pictures, with Osho World Foundation and Sanjay Grover as co-producers.
