Now a film on Gandhiji and Kasturba

MUMBAI: In their search for varied content, Indian filmmakers are rushing to a new theme: political leaders.

Anil K Sharma has started work on a film based on Hitler which he has titled as Dear Friend Hitler. Then there is Walkwater Media‘s Tere Bin Laden that is releasing this week.

Karanvir RK‘s Kaytee Movies is now producing a film, Gandhi Ki Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aanaa, that is based on Gandhiji and Kasturba‘s love story. The film will be helmed by debutant Pranav Dhivar.

A modern-day take on Gandhij‘s love story with his wife, the film deals with their emotional and unspoken love story done in good humour. “I am not dealing with any kind of history here,” cofirms Dhivar.

The film that has Karanvir playing the role of Gandhiji will go on the floors on 15 August and will be shot extensively in Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat.
