Applause Entertainment announces stellar international cast for ‘Gandhi’ series
Applause Entertainment’s highly anticipated series ‘Gandhi’, has revealed its cast.
The series, directed by Hansal Mehta, promises to deliver a captivating portrayal of Mahatma Gandhi’s transformative journey.
Leading the charge is none other than Tom Felton, renowned for his portrayal in the iconic ‘Harry Potter’ series, whose inclusion adds a significant allure to the project. Joining Felton are a constellation of stars including Libby Mai, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Jonno Davies, and Simon Lennon, each poised to breathe life into pivotal roles.
At the forefront of this project is the immensely talented Pratik Gandhi, portraying the iconic role of Gandhi himself.
Sameer Nair, Managing Director, Applause Entertainment, “We are excited to bring together an exceptional ensemble cast from across the globe, each adding their own unique brilliance to this monumental tale. With Hansal Mehta at the helm, and the incomparable Pratik Gandhi embodying the spirit of Gandhi, we aim to propel our Indian series onto the global stage with resounding impact.”
Director Hansal Mehta, “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, “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 & Pratik is an honour and pleasure.”
