Baba Ramdev makes his Bollywood debut 

Baba Ramdev has come on board to promote the upcoming film Yeh Hai India, written and directed by Lom Harsh, and featuring Gavie Chahal and Deana Uppal in the lead. The yoga guru will also be seen in the song Saiyan Saiyan from the movie.

"A few people around the world have the wrong perspective about this country. India is no more (just) a country of snake (charmers), it has advanced," says Ramdev. "India has the capability to lead the entire world. This change in the picture of India has been showcased in the film. Hence, after a lot of thinking, I've taken a decision to strongly support this film and I also expect every citizen of India to support such films," he adds.

"I'm really thankful to Babaji who's lent his full-fledged support to my film. We couldn't have a better public ambassador for our film," says director Harsh.

The film is slated for release on August 18.
