Mahakavi Goswami Tulsidas was a revered 16th-century Vaishnava saint and poet. He is best known for composing the Awadhi epic Ramcharitmanas, a devotional retelling of the Ramayana, as well as the widely revered Hanuman Chalisa.
He also authored several acclaimed works, including Vinaya Patrika, Kavitavali, Gitavali and Dohavali.
Rambola will mark Vishal Chaturvedi’s next venture into devotional cinema after Hanuman Ansh, which explored the life and spiritual journey of Neem Karoli Baba.
Inspired by the book Divine Detour: That Changed My Life, Hanuman Ansh was released in theatres on August 7.
Despite a slow start at the box office, the film gained momentum in its second week and has now surpassed the Rs 200 crore mark in its sixth week.
Starring Shobhinaw Satyaa and Chandan Anand, Hanuman Ansh follows Lakshmi Narayan, a young boy who embarks on a quest for God after his mother’s death.
Set in pre-Independence India, his journey takes him across North India and eventually leads to his transformation into Neem Karoli Baba.
