The series is being described as India's equivalent of "The Crown", the period drama series is currently filming in London. The series is based on historian Ramachandra Guha’s two books "Gandhi Before India" and "Gandhi – The Years that Changed the World."
Here is a statement from Tom Felton about joining the cast of Gandhi series:
“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 and Pratik is an honor and pleasure.”
Here is a statement from the Managing Director of Applause, Sameer Nair about the cast:
“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.”
Here is a statement from Mehta about the cast:
“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 labor 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.”
