The duo who created magic in the OTT world with their Scam 1992 and Modern Love: Mumbai, are ready yet again to create a buzz and have announced their upcoming series based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi.
Talking about this mega project, Hansal said it was a huge responsibility for a filmmaker to helm a project based on the iconic figure, Gandhiji. “Our vision with the web series is to make it as true to life as possible and supported by Ramchandra Guha’ s work, we are confident and enthusiastic that we will bring audiences something to remember,” said the filmmaker, who has joined hands with Applause Entertainment yet again, after Scam 1992.
The CEO Sameer Nair added, “The making of Gandhi will be an emotional experience, and when a series of this magnitude and importance is made, it needs people who truly believe in its import. With Hansal’ s directorial vision, Pratik’ s delicately nuanced performance and Siddharth Basu joining the creative process, we are excited about bringing Gandhi’ s and India’ s journey to a global audience.”
Sameer Nair further adds, “The story of Mahatma Gandhi is more than just a story of an individual, it is also the story of the birth of a nation and many other dramatis personae, who along with Gandhi, gained freedom for India. We at Applause are honored to have the opportunity to tell this important story of India and to bring alive this rich history of Indian Freedom struggle in a deeply layered multi-season drama series. A story of this magnitude needs a filmmaker of equal stature and in Hansal we have found our perfect storyteller. Collaborating once again with Hansal and Prateek makes this all the more exciting.”
