Here’s a proper, verified write-up for the cast of Sai Baba (also widely known as Sri Sai Baba or Sai Baba – Tere Hazaron Haath), the popular television serial produced by Ramanand Sagar:
: Selected after a nationwide audition, Nag is highly regarded for his authentic portrayal and had previously worked with the Sagars as Sudama in Shri Krishna Arvind Singh Rausaria as Mhalsapati
The casting choices were a result of their vision. Unlike modern casting which often looks for "glamour," the Sagar team looked for "suitability." They chose faces that looked like they belonged in the rustic, 19th-century village of Shirdi.
: Played the priest of the Khandoba temple and Sai Baba's first devotee in Shirdi. Kumar Hegde as Kulkarni
Sai Baba of Shirdi: Played by Mukul Nag. Nag, a graduate of the National School of Drama , was chosen by Ramanand Sagar after a nationwide search. He was previously known for playing Sudama in Shri Krishna.
