Life of Mahatma Gandhi will be seen in Hansal Mehta's web series

Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has come on board to direct "Gandhi", an upcoming series based on two books by Ramachandra Guha: "Gandhi Before India" and "Gandhi - The Years That Changed the World". Actor Prateek Gandhi will play the role of Mahatma Gandhi in this special series.

Hansal Mehta talks about directing the web series and says, "When you talk of a historical and iconic figure like Mahatma Gandhi, you already have a huge responsibility as a filmmaker. Together our vision is to make it come true. As much as possible and backed by the work of Ramachandra Guha, we are confident and excited that we will bring audiences something to remember."

Producer Sameer Nair talks about bringing Hansal Mehta, Prateek Gandhi, and Siddharth Basu on board and also gives his insights on the entire series which will showcase the life of Mahatma Gandhi and his role in the freedom struggle.

He says, "The story of Mahatma Gandhi is more than just the story of a great man. It is also the story of the birth of a nation and many other playwrights who, along with Gandhi, achieved independence for India."

Set in the era of India's freedom struggle, Applause will produce 'Gandhi'.

Siddharth Basu is also a part of the project as a historical consultant, factual consultant and creative consultant.
