Pratik Gandhi To Play Mahatma Gandhi In His Biopic Series?

Applause Entertainment has announced a major biopic on Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi.

Now, the makers have roped in Pratik Gandhi to play the role of Mahatma Gandhi in the series.

As per reports, It will be a multi-season series based on the works of famous author Ramachandra Guha. Guha’s two most authoritative works on Gandhi have been purchased by the studio.

Ramachandra Guha, a renowned historian and biographer, remarked, “Gandhi’s work transformed the world, and his legacy still sparks the most intense debates. His life was an epic journey, played out across three great countries: India, England and South Africa. He fought nobly for freedom, for inter-faith harmony, and for the rights of the underprivileged. Along the way, he made many friends and not a few enemies too. I am delighted that my books on Gandhi are now being adapted for this ambitious and exciting series being produced by Applause Entertainment. I am confident that it will bring the complex contours of Gandhi’s life and the moral essence of his teachings to viewers across the globe.”

Pratik Gandhi says, “I deeply believe in the Gandhian philosophy and his values that echo simplicity in its purest forms. Personally too, I strive to achieve and imbibe many of his qualities and teachings in my daily life. Moreover, playing the role of Mahatma is very close to my heart ever since my theatre days and now it is a huge honour to yet again essay the role of this legendary leader, on screen. I believe it’s a huge responsibility to essay this role with dignity, grace and conviction and I can’t wait to embark on this journey with Sameer Nair and his team at Applause.”

The series will add light to the lesser-known incidents of Mahatma’s life, right from his early days in South Africa through the epic battle in India. Along with this, it will incorporate stories of his fellow freedom fighters as well.
