Sony TV to air biopic on Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna

Sony Entertainment Television will be airing a biopic on the life of Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev and his close friend Acharya Balkrishna. Titled ‘Yog Yatra’, the film will be aired on Sony on May 1, 2016 at 7.30 am and 9.00 am.

‘Yog Yatra’ has been written and directed by well-known television personality Kaveta Chaudhry. She spent months researching for the film and even while shooting, it was a revelation and rewriting of the scripts to bring to life the real episodes which created the legends.

The 90-minute long film meticulously showcases the life and evolution of Baba Ramdev and how he aspires to transform the life of people with yoga and Ayurveda.

Throwing more light on the biopic, Chaudhry, “‘Yog Yatra’ came to me with Acharya Balkrishnaji’s call for making a film on their institution and its array of activities. I convinced them to expand the scope to include the vision behind Patanjali while including their activities. Then began my research in knowing Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna and revisiting their junctions in life. The film showcases through the examples of Baba Ramdev and Acharya Balkrishna that how by carving their own path and choosing to be who they are, both achieved global success. The film also attempts to free us from the prevalent education system of marks orientation to an all round development that gives the strength to deal with different shades of life – with ease, joy and glory.”

Acharya Balkrishna added here, “We had seen Kaveta’s work during the making of a public service spot. Also, her past work profile resonates sensitivity combined with creative intuition, which is very important in making a film of such nature. When we look back, her passion and flair for story telling makes us glad she was a part of our journey forward.”
