Abeer Sufi to play Saibaba in Sony TV’ next; Toral Rasputra roped in

Sony Entertainment Television will be once again back with a show on the lives of Saibaba titled as Mere Sai.

Yes, Dashami Creations, who have earlier produced Big Magic’s Nadaniyaan, is working on this new project.

The makers have roped in TV actors Abeer Sufi to play the centrelized character of Saibaba. Also we have heard that Balika Vadhu fame Toral Rasputra is making her comeback with this drama.

According to our sources, Toral will portray the character of Bayaza bai. Few are aware of the deep bond that existed between Bayaza bai and Sai. The godman Sai considered Bayaza bai to be her sister for the last seven births.

Bayaza, whom the locales addressed as Bayaza Maa was drawn to baba much before his saintly powers were revealed. Since the time they first met, she would never eat without feeding Sai. And because Sai’s considered Bayazabai to be his sister, he took care of Bayaza’s son Tatya Kote as his nephew.

As a child Tatya addressed Baba as “Mama” but with age the relationship drifted towards an elder brotherly side. They would wrestle and have a lot of fun together.

Because of his proximity to Baba, very few people enjoyed the privileges that he did for instance, only Tatya and Mahalsapati were allowed to stay with Baba in the Mosques at night.

The bond between the two is beautiful to read about and will surely be even more heart-wrenching to be seen enacted onscreen. Therefore without revealing further, we would want the serial to be on our TV screens as soon as possible. We surely can’t wait.

We were very excited to learn about the show, which is why we tried to get in touch with the producer Ninad and actors Abeer and Toral but all of them remained unavailable for comments.
