Priyanka Chopra to Star in Film Based on Netflix's Wild Wild Country

Priyanka Chopra is getting into the cult business.

The actress announced on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Wednesday that she and director Barry Levinson are developing a cinematic treatment of the story seen in Netflix's hit docuseries Wild Wild Country.

Wild Wild Country centered on the true story of the Rajneeshees, a group of followers of the religious guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, aka Osho, who tried to create a utopia in Oregon in the '80s. Members of the group were convicted of using a biological attack in an effort to secure seats on the Wasco County Circuit Court to gain prominence in the small region.

Chopra will star as Ma Anand Sheela, Osho's right-hand woman. "She was just devious and created a whole cult in America," the Quantico star told DeGeneres. Chopra will also produce the film.

Wild Wild Country is currently available on Netflix.
