Shree Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj: Release Delayed as Certification Process Continues

Release Postponed for Shree Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj

The eagerly awaited biopic, Shree Baba Neeb Karori Maharaj, starring Subodh Bhave, has had its release date shifted from April 24, 2026. This postponement is due to the ongoing efforts to secure the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) approval, which is crucial for the film's debut.

Under the direction of Sharad Singh Thakur, the film explores the life and teachings of the esteemed saint Neem Karoli Baba, whose influence continues to resonate with millions worldwide. The storyline aims to encapsulate the profound effect the saint has had on his followers and the larger spiritual community.

In a statement addressing the delay, director Sharad Singh Thakur remarked, "We were ready to present this film to audiences on April 24, but the certification process is still ongoing. Given the film's significance and the responsibility it entails, we want to ensure everything is properly arranged before its release. We are now targeting a mid-May launch and appreciate the audience's patience and support. This film is crafted with heartfelt sincerity, and we aim to showcase it appropriately."

Subodh Bhave's performance as Neem Karoli Baba is anticipated to resonate with viewers, reflecting the saint's simplicity, compassion, and spiritual richness. Neem Karoli Baba is a highly respected figure, with a substantial following both in India and abroad, making this film especially meaningful for his devotees.

The film boasts a talented cast, including Hiten Tejwani, Samikssha Bhatnagar, Hemant Pandey, and Aniruddh Dave, among others. Produced by a committed team, the film is expected to hit theaters with a tentative release in mid-May 2026. The filmmakers will soon announce the new release date, keeping audiences updated on the film's development.
