Actress Shilpa Shirodkar has resumed the shoot for her forthcoming web series "Shankara The Revolutionary Man", which is based on the life and teachings of saint and philosopher Adi Shankaracharya.

Taking to her official Insta account, Shilpa posted a selfie from her vanity.

Sharing the picture on social media, the 'Jatadhara' actress wrote the caption, "Back to what I love doing, (sic)" followed by a red heart emoji.

Jointly backed by Modi Studios and Rajarshi Bhupendra Modi, the series further stars Abhishek Nigam, Rati Pandey, Rajesh Shringarpure, Farnaz Shetty, and Manoj Joshi in crucial roles, along with others.

Previously, during an exclusive conversation with IANS, Shilpa shared how "Shankar - The Revolutionary Man" became a turning point in her life, leading her on a spiritual journey.

She revealed that the experience helped her achieve personal growth while exploring a deeper sense of purpose beyond the screen.

Shilpa told IANS, "I have always been spiritually inclined. I enjoy learning, listening, and exploring different kinds of knowledge. So, when this show came my way, it felt like a life-changing moment for me. I thought to myself that if I were to be a part of this project, it would offer so much more for me to learn, both professionally and personally."

Shedding light on her role in the show, she added, "I am portraying the role of Adi Shankaracharya's mother, Arambha. I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to play such an important figure in his life. Adi Shankaracharya had a very strong personality, and his mother played a pivotal role in shaping his journey. So, for me, it's truly a privilege to step into her shoes."

"I have the chance to work alongside such an iconic figure-Modi ji-and to portray Adi Shankaracharya's mother, which is truly an honor. Personally, I feel like I am learning something new every day, whether it's from reading the script or through interactions on set. It's an incredible chance for growth," Shilpa concluded.

Great to see a series on Adi Shankaracharya ji. His teachings are more relevant than ever in today's world. Hope the makers do justice to such an important figure and don't just make it for entertainment. The cast looks promising.

Honestly, I'm a bit skeptical. Many web series these days take creative liberties with historical and spiritual figures for drama. I hope this one is well-researched and respectful. Shilpa's dedication is commendable though.

This is fascinating! As someone not from India, I don't know much about Adi Shankaracharya. Shows like this are a wonderful way to learn about different philosophies and cultures. Will definitely check it out when it releases.

Waah! What a perfect casting. Shilpa ji has that grace and strength needed to play Aryamba. Her saying it was a life-changing project gives me confidence. More power to her for taking on roles with depth at this stage of her career.

Good to see content moving beyond typical masala. Our streaming platforms should have more series on our gurus, saints, and philosophers. It's part of our soft power. Hope the production quality matches the subject's grandeur.
