Under the creative helm of visionary director, Hansal Mehta, Applause Entertainment’s highly anticipated series, Gandhi, is currently in production, filming across various locations. The series will be a riveting period drama, that transports audiences to the world of Gandhi’s life and his captivating journey.
We can now raise the curtain on the esteemed International cast that are poised to breathe life into this historcal film. At the forefront of this project is the immensely talented Pratik Gandhi, portraying the iconic role of Gandhi himself.
The series boasts a very impressive ensemble featuring an array of diverse artists, each bringing their unique talent to truly embody their characters. Leading the charge is none other than Tom Felton, celebrated for his iconic portrayal in the Harry Potter series. Alongside Felton, the cast features Libby Mai, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Jonno Davies and Simon Lennon amongst others.
Director Hansal Mehta is excited to work with the cast bring this epic real story to reel, “Working with an exceptionally talented cast has been nothing but a privilege. The casting of some exceptional international actors to our ensemble is even more exciting as we prepare to take our labour of love to audiences worldwide. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s story, particularly his more formative years spent in London and South Africa, is a story for our times, an untouched but fertile tale of a young man who goes on a voyage of self-discovery, not knowing the impact he’d have on history and on our collective consciousness. I feel truly honoured to have gotten the opportunity to bring this epic tale to life.”
Tom Felton reveals, “I’m excited to be part of the journey of telling the story of Gandhi’s early years in London. It’s an important aspect of history that hasn’t been told on screen before, and to be working with Hansal and Pratik is an honour and pleasure.”
As production continues on Gandhi, anticipation mounts for its release, promising an unforgettable exploration of Indian history.
