Hansal Mehta's perspective

Hansal Mehta commented that it has been an absolute honour to work with such a brilliant ensemble. As they get ready to bring their labour of love to audiences all around the world, the news that they have roped in some very remarkable international performers to join their ensemble has just added to the excitement. An untold but rich tale of a young man embarking on a journey of self-discovery, unaware of the influence he would have on history and their shared awareness, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's story—especially his formative years in London and South Africa—is a story for the time. It is an honour to have the opportunity to bring this great story to life.
