Yoga guru Baba Ramdev, who will be seen as the Maha Guru on an upcoming reality television show Om Shanti Om, says that the upcoming singing reality entertainer will redefine the magic of devotional music in India.
This is a great platform to bring out devotional genre of music through interesting renditions unheard before. I am delighted to be part of this show because it is everything that Indians are proud of -- our tradition, our culture and our faith. With Om Shanti Om, we will redefine devotional music in a way that it appeals to the youngsters today.Baba Ramdev, Yoga Guru
Star Bharat’s Om Shanti Om (starting August 28), will reportedly have Ranveer Singh dancing to the Bajirao Mastani track Malhari on its very first episode. And when Ranveer and Baba Ramdev get together, entertainment is guaranteed. One of the show’s promos even features rap king Badshah.
Ranveer Singh describes Om Shanti Om in the show’s promo.
To be hosted by Aparshakti Khurana, the show will feature actress Sonakshi Sinha, composer-singer Shekhar Ravjiani and singer Kanika Kapoor as judges.
I have always been spiritual and believe that music is the best way to reach any level of spirituality. Om Shanti Om is an extension of that belief and I love the way it is combining contemporary and youthful music with devotion! I am excited to be part of the show and completely sure that (the) youth will connect to it as well.Sonakshi Sinha, Actor
