Ever since Priyanka Chopra Jonas mentioned that she was developing a biopic on Ma Anand Sheela — controversial Indian godman Rajneesh Osho's closest aide — on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last month, she has held her cards close to her chest. Now, in a chat with mid-day, the actor-producer revealed that the project happened to her by destiny rather than design, at a time when she was scouting for powerful scripts.

"I have to credit director Barry Levinson for bringing this movie to me. He will be directing the project. He and his producers have been researching on this subject and developing it for the last few years. He approached me to develop it with him," said Chopra.
