MUMBAI: All the drama surrounding the yoga guru Baba Ramdev and his fight against corruption has become a good script for a film.

It is learnt that to gather first hand information, Shankar has been closely following the turn of events starting from Ramdev‘s fast and ending in the police crackdown at Ram Lila ground, Delhi.
It is believed that Shankar‘s film will be titled Baba and will see Sanjay Dutt essaying the role of Baba Ramdev. Although there is no confirmation whether Dutt will play Baba or not, it is believed that he will be a part of the project.
