Manoj Bajpayee to lead new Mahatma Gandhi biographical film
Manoj Bajpayee is set to portray Mahatma Gandhi in a new theatrical feature directed by Sudhir Mishra. The project marks the actor’s first on‑screen interpretation of Gandhi and is being positioned as a prestige historical drama backed by Benaras Mediaworks and NH Studioz.
The film centres on a lesser‑known 21‑day chapter from Gandhi’s life, focusing on the period when he chose to step away from Delhi as it emerged as the centre of political power. The narrative is designed to explore Gandhi’s ideological clarity during a moment of national transition.
