Bollywood actor Shreyas Talpade gives vocals to the upcoming documentary ‘24 Hours Inside the Temple – Shirdi’, directed by Harsh Pandya and Shekhar Jha and presented by Gopi Films.

The makers have recently released the trailer of the upcoming film with Shreyas lending his voice in both Hindi and English, offering his narration as an act of devotion to Sai Baba.

Talking about the upcoming documentary, Shreyas shared, “As an actor, I’ve been part of many stories — but this one is different. ‘24 Hours Inside the Temple – Shirdi’ isn’t just about rituals or religion; it’s about the heartbeat of faith that never stops.”

The actor talked about giving voice over to the documentary and added, “Lending my voice to this documentary allowed me to experience the spirit of Seva up close — the devotion, discipline, and humanity that keep the temple alive around the clock. It’s not a performance; it’s a feeling.”

He concluded, “I hope audiences can sense that same energy and connection when they watch it.”

Shri Saibaba Sansthan’s Chief Executive Officer Goraksha Gadilkar (IAS) also talked about the project and said, “The Shirdi Sansthan’s service system goes far beyond operational management — it is devotion in action. This project was inspired by the quiet strength and sincerity of those who serve day and night, expecting nothing in return.”

He added, “With the invaluable guidance and wholehearted support of the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust, Shirdi we have sought to capture and share that living spirit of Seva with audiences around the world — a reminder that true faith is best expressed through selfless service.”

The documentary is said to carry a timeless message: “Seva is the highest form of devotion. Do whatever service you can quietly, sincerely, selflessly. This documentary is a reminder that every act of service counts.”
