The Swami Nithyananda scandal will soon be made into a movie by BJP leader Mr Madan Patel.
“Many people have shared their nightmarish experiences with me, so I already have sufficient material. But I am still open to more people talking to me about the issue, so that the film gets more depth,” said Mr Patel.
Since the sex scandal became public, Mr Patel has been keenly following the issue. “Since then I have come across lot of people who have narrated to me how they have been cheated and fooled by Swami Nithyananda, so I decided to make a movie as that will expose him totally. The hunt is now on for a Nithyananda look-alike so that I can cast him in the lead role,” said Mr Patel. He feels that only a look-alike can bring the desired effect so he is frantically searching for someone who will fit the bill.
Titled Satyananda — The true story of Nithyananda, the film will probably be on floors after January 14. “This is an inauspicious month, so we will be starting only after Jan 14,” added Mr Patel.
He said that the episode had shaken the faith of many devotees. “We believe that Swamijis are next only to God, but this one episode has tainted the faith and belief of thousands of devotees. This one person has actually brought a bad name to the entire clan of Godmen,” said Mr Patel.
He added that he would not bend to any influence, pressure or threat from anyone to stop this movie. “I know there will be pressure on me to stop this movie, but I will not give in to pressure,” said Mr Patel, who will be directing the film himself.
