Film producer Rahul Mittra on Friday announced his next project, a series on Ma Yoga Laxmi, a secretary of controversial spiritual guru Osho Rajneesh. Published in the Deccan Herald on April 23, 2021.
Mittra, who has produced films like Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster series, Bullet Raja, Sarkar 3, Torbaaz, among others, has acquired rights of British author Rashid Maxwell’s best seller book “The Only Life: Osho, Laxmi and a Journey of the Heart” on Osho’s first secretary.
The series will be directed by Ranjan Chandel [along with Osho World Foundation and Sanjay Grover as Co-producers, ed.], who has helmed Bamfaad, Paresh Rawal’s son Aditya Rawal’s debut film.

Maxwell said he is excited to collaborate with Rahul Mittra Films & Jar Pictures for the project.
“The vision and work of Osho and its revolutionary effect on Laxmi and his people needs to be widely understood. I am excited that this project is being helmed by Rahul Mittra Films & Jar Pictures. I am sure full justice shall be done to this sensitive subject which has important consequences for society as a whole,” Maxwell said in a statement here.
Mittra said as a filmmaker he has always tried to look out for good content to back.
