Chopra said that she is partnering with BARRY Levinson on the film, calling him an "iconic American director." The original Netflix series revealed details about the lives of Indian spiritual guru Bhagwan Rajneesh, aka Osho, his assistant Ma Anand Sheela and the followers they amassed in the Rajneeshpuram community in 1980s Oregon.
Chopra told DeGeneres, "We're developing it as the character of Sheela, who was this guru who originated from India, his right-hand woman. And she was just devious and created a whole cult in America, brought people here."
Wild, Wild Country was directed by brother filmmaking duo Maclain and Chapman Way and executive produced by Mark and Jay Duplass. It premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and then came to Netflix in March 2018.
