Director Hansal Mehta is currently immersed in his latest web series venture, "Gandhi," which promises to captivate audiences. Mehta has taken on multiple responsibilities for this series, showcasing his versatility.
Previously, it was revealed that the role of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, or Gandhiji, would be portrayed by a protege of the director, Pratik Gandhi, embodying the symbolic figure of Gandhi.
Now, breaking news has surfaced. Last Thursday, the director unveiled several foreign actors' names for the series, sparking excitement among fans.
Among them is a cast member from the renowned "Harry Potter" series, Tom Felton. Felton, a British actor famous for his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the "Harry Potter" series, will take on a significant role in Mehta's production. The announcement has sent waves of enthusiasm through Indian fans on social media platforms.
In the "Harry Potter" series, Felton's portrayal of Harry's nemesis, Draco Malfoy, left a lasting impression on audiences worldwide. Felton himself has expressed his excitement about delving into the narrative of Gandhi's time spent in London. He's thrilled to collaborate with Mehta and the rest of the cast.
Apart from Felton, the series boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Libby Mai, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Jonno Davies, and Simon Lennon. The director has shared the photo of these actors on social media, building anticipation among fans.
Furthermore, actress Bhamini Oza takes on the role of Kasturba Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi's wife, adding depth to the narrative.
This entire series draws inspiration from the historical accounts presented in Ramachandra Guha's books "Gandhi Before India" and "Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World." Director Hansal Mehta has crafted the storyline based on these historical foundations, promising an engaging and enlightening portrayal of Gandhi's life.
Fans eagerly await the release of "Gandhi," anticipating a fresh perspective on the iconic figure's life coupled with the allure of familiar faces from the world of Harry Potter.
