Sayaji Shinde as Shirdi Saibaba

Sayaji Shinde, who acted in numerous villain roles in many Tamil and Telugu films, will be seen in a lead role for the first time as Shirdi Saibaba in a Telugu devotional film to be launched soon. The film will be directed by Rajavamsi, who earlier directed Madhura Meenakshi.

Shinde said that he accepted to act in this film "because of the way of Rajavamsi’s story narration."

The director said: "I feel happy for accepting the film by Sayaji Shinde, even though he is busy with other projects. We are planning to make this film with huge graphics and high technology. More details of the film will be revealed soon."
