Pratik Gandhi, who plays Gandhi in the film, recently shared his thoughts on the role. In a conversation with Outlook, the actor expressed, “For me, this is a very important role—one of the biggest shows of my life—because I play the pivotal role of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. We will try our best to depict his life and his journey. This is one of the very first shows to tackle something of this nature in the history of entertainment."

The actor further shared that when he was approached to play this role, he realised the magnitude of this responsibility. He mentioned that he has been playing this role for years on stage, where he learned about the history of how Gandhi became a freedom fighter. He also mentioned that Mahatma Gandhi’s simplicity inspires him the most.
