Found guilty of raping a 16-year-old girl at his ashram, godman Asaram Bapu is currently serving his term in jail and the controversial figure might be getting a biopic on him.
News is that Sunil Bohra – the producer of Gangs Of Wasseypur – has bought the rights of the book God of Sin: The Cult, Clout and Downfall of Asaram Bapu, which is based on his life .
Talking to The Times of India, Sunil said:
I read the book and was taken in by lawyer PC Solanki who fought the case for the victims against Asaram Bapu for free. The two lady police officers — one from Jodhpur and the other from Surat — are inspiring, too.
While further adding:
In my eyes, they are the real heroes. We will focus on these people and the rest will be based on facts. I bought the rights of the book last month. I have started meeting writers and shall lock the team soon. I want the movie to have an international appeal. The cast will be decided once the script is ready.
