On Monday, the trailer of the Netflix docu-drama, Searching For Sheela, was unveiled. Karan Johar’s production provides a peek into the world of Ma Anand Sheela, a close aide of Bhagwan Rajneesh. Kapoor & Sons (2016) director Shakun Batra, who is on board as executive producer, says, “This is not an investigative piece, just an observation of a person who has had a questionable past and has lived life on her own terms.”

The world cannot get enough of her as the intrigue around her continues to be as alluring as ever. Be it her outspoken personality or her astounding journey, Ma Anand Sheela is and will always be a controversial (yet sassy) figure. After the phenomenal reception to Wild Wild Country, Netflix returns with ‘Searching For Sheela’, a raw, authentic docu-film that explores Sheela’s journey through India after 34 long years and sheds light on her new life post serving time for her alleged crimes. But has the world really let go of the past? ‘Searching for Sheela’ is all set to premiere on April 22, 2021 - exclusively on Netflix.
