I have embarked on another exciting, but not-so-easy project: making a real feature film about Osho. I have written a script about a female journalist who goes to the Ranch one week before our Master was arrested. She goes there with all the sceptical attitudes a journalist can have, but slowly, slowly she starts to feel sympathetic toward the Master. Although she never becomes a sannyasin (otherwise it would look like a propaganda film) she questions herself and the audience about all the reasons behind the persecution of Osho. The story will also include flashbacks to Osho s childhood, which are taken from a book the journalist reads during her experience at the Ranch.
The film has two aims. One is to let the world know what happened to Osho in the United States, in a sort of open case format, like Oliver Stone s movie JFK. In that movie there is no actor playing Kennedy, and I am also thinking to use real footage, with no actor playing Osho. The second aim of the film is to show the mystical, poetic, and outrageous childhood of our beloved Master that later led Him to enlightenment.
At the moment I am traveling around the world, making contact with producers and private investors in America, India, and Europe in order to secure the financing, and I hope to start shooting soon. I am trying to find mainstream production and distribution for the movie, and the challenge is to get it without compromising any of what I want to say about Him.
If anybody feels to contribute or wants to have more information, you can write to me at .
