Addinath Kothare & Pratik Gandhi join the cast of Hansal Mehta's 'Gandhi’

Award-winning filmmaker Hansal Mehta has embarked on a new cinematic journey with his upcoming web series titled ‘Gandhi,’ based on the insightful books by historian Ramachandra Guha. The series delves into the transformative years of Mahatma Gandhi as chronicled in 'Gandhi before India' and "Gandhi: The Years that Changed the World." 

Shooting for the series has already commenced, with the initial schedule taking place in Maharashtra since the third week of January.

The picturesque locales of Bhor in Maharashtra have set the stage for the first leg of filming, which will capture pivotal moments in Gandhi's early life. 

Following the completion of the Indian shoot, the production is slated to shift to London, where Gandhi's formative experiences outside of India will be brought to life on screen.

According to the Hindustan Times, the London shoot holds significant importance in portraying Gandhi's international exposure and educational journey. This segment forms a crucial part of the narrative, enriching the storytelling with insights into Gandhi's worldly experiences.

Gandhi marks the third collaboration between Hansal Mehta and actor Paritosh Gandhi, who plays Mahatma Gandhi after the critically acclaimed successes of 'Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story' and 'Baai.' Acclaimed actor Addinath Kothare, who plays a pivotal character in the series, joins the ensemble cast alongside Pratik Gandhi.
