MUMBAI: Ma Anand Sheela, who shot to global fame with Netflix’s documentary “Wild Wild Country” on controversial spiritual guru Rajneesh, is getting her own version on the streaming platform.
The documentary special, to be produced by Dharmatic Entertainment, the digital content arm of Johar’s Dharma Productions, will give a personal insight into Sheela, who polarised opinions and found admirers and critics as a devotee of Rajneesh.
Sheela was a crucial figure in helping Rajneesh establish Rajneeshpuram, a utopian city for his followers in rural Oregon, which functioned between 1981 to 1985.
The commune soon ran foul with the American authorities and local public. Sheela and other followers of the Rajneesh were accused of charges from of immigration fraud, wiretapping, attempts to rig the local election and bio-terrorism. (AGENCIES)
