Shobhinaw Satyaa Discusses Role in Hanuman Ansh and Kainchi Dham Crowds
Shobhinaw Satyaa, who portrayed Neem Karoli Baba in the Rs 400 crore film Hanuman Ansh, shared at the India Today Mumbai Conclave 2026 that he was not the first choice for the role but was selected after the original actor fell ill during filming. He linked the recent heavy crowds and traffic jams at Kainchi Dham to prophecies by Neem Karoli Baba and Siddhi Maa, viewing the influx as a fulfillment of their predictions and a sign of growing devotion. Satyaa also reflected on his unexpected journey from assistant director to lead actor and the film's impact on his life.
