Baba Ramdev inspires Phas Gaya Re Obama maker for a film

MUMBAI: Subhash Kapoor, known for his film Phas Gaye Re Obama, is in plans to make a political satire inspired by Baba Ramdev‘s recent fast-unto-death to fight against corruption.

It is said that the film will revolve around the God man and the rivalry between two politicians. Avers Kapoor, "I was amused to see the same politicians who received him at the airport, ordered a lathi charge at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi, where he was fasting."He adds, "It‘s also interesting that Baba Ramdev, who raised the issue of corruption, has a Rs 10 billion empire. These elements will add humour to the story."

The director promises to pack in a punch with characters like an aspiring female social worker, a junior sadhu, cops and an underworld don wanting to enter politics. Kapoor says that he wants to cast Makrand Deshpande as Baba and Paresh Rawal as one of the politicians.

Kapoor, who is busy shooting for Jolly LLB plans to go on floors early next year.
