Actor-producer Ajay Devgn is soon coming up with a television show based on the life of yoga-guru Baba Ramdev. For the project, Devgn will be collaborating with filmmaker Abhinav Shukla.

The report suggests that the television show will be named Swami Baba Ramdev: The Untold Story, and would show the entire journey of Ramdev and his associate Balakrishna – from being ordinary citizens to become global icons. It is also reported that the show is expected to go on floors by the end of 2017.

Apparently, ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’ fame actor Vikrant Massey, who is riding high after the applauds garnered by his film A Death in the Gunj, was finalised to play the role of Ramdev in the show, but somehow things didn’t work out between the actor and the makers.

According to a report, Massey had in fact already got into the look, by growing his hair and beard. He was reportedly also meant to spend some time with the yoga-guru to learn some Yoga postures and techniques, in order to play the role as convincingly as possible. But, he moved out of the show due to personal reasons.

Massey confirmed the news by saying, “Yes I had started prep but have since opted out for personal reasons. I wish the team luck.”
Ajay Devgn is currently busy with his upcoming projects – ‘Baadshaho’, directed by Milan Luthria and Rohit Shetty’s ‘Golmaal Again’.
