Sharing his thoughts on the project, Subhash Ghai remarked, “Filmmaking is all about perspective. Wars and conflicts in the world have often stemmed from a difference in perspectives. My short film Gandhi is not just a story but an exploration of viewpoints. The idea was sparked by a conversation when an 18-year-old student from Whistling Woods International expressed this about celebrating Gandhi Jayanti. He says, ‘Sir, I won’t play guitar to celebrate this occasion as I don’t believe in. Gandhi Jayanti,’ and that honest expression inspired me to delve deeper into Gandhi’s relevance today. Manoj hasn’t charged me. a single rupee for this film and was keen for the younger generations to understand ‘Gandhi.’
Manoj Bajpayee on his short film and working with Subhash Ji stated, “Thank you Subhash ji for saying, ‘Gandhi’ is a perspective. Gandhi dada is an icon for all of us, but there’s a generation that’s growing up that has misconceptions about him. I have wanted to work with Subhash ji ever since I landed in Mumbai, it was certainly a dream come true to work with Subhash ji in this short film ‘Gandhi’. a lot of time with him as a director and me as an actor, I have always learned from his films, getting his views and taking where the 2 generations are trying to understand GANDHI and having their own perspective. completely corrected and sorted about the enigma called GANDHI. It was lovely and very educational to be a part of this project.”
With GandhiSubhash Ghai steps into a new territory of storytelling as this is the first short format film made by the showman. It promises to leave audiences with a thought-provoking interpretation of Gandhi’s ideals in today’s world.
