Three-season plan for ‘Gandhi’

The ‘Gandhi’ series is based on Ramachandra Guha’s books—‘Gandhi Before India’ and ‘Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World’.

Shooting wrapped up in London, South Africa and India in August 2024, and now the epic three-season outline awaits the audience.

Professional rapport more than friendship

The chemistry between the two backstage showed that not just the on-screen hero and his stunt double, but the co-actors also keep learning and teaching throughout their lives.

Pratik praised Tom’s unique style, innocence and emotion, while Tom described Pratik as unmatched in dedication and professionalism.

Waiting to be welcomed in India

Pratik’s excitement is evident when he writes, “Can’t wait to have you in India.”

The friendship of two young actors in the story of ‘Gandhi’ is as important as Mahatma Gandhi’s first war.

Beyond the glitz and glamour of TIFF, this bond showed that when art, history and friendship meet, the magic cannot be stopped.
