According to a PTI report, the film traces the life and spiritual journey of Baba Neem Karoli Maharaj, a figure deeply respected by followers across India and abroad. The narrative aims to capture his teachings, influence, and the legacy he left behind.
Directed by Sharad Singh Thakur, the film brings together a wide ensemble cast alongside Bhave. The lineup includes Hiten Tejwani, Samikssha Bhatnagar, Aniruddh Dave, Hemant Pandey, Rajesh Sharma, Milind Guna, Smita Tambe, Gourishankar, Aaartii Naagpal and Garima Agarwal, among others.
