Gandhi is a TV drama that will show the life of India's great hero Mahatma Gandhi over three series, with Gandhi season 1 covering the iconic poliitcal campaigner's first 45 years. Starring Pratik Gandhi (no relation to Mahatma) in the lead role, the first series follows Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s life as a law student in London and later as a lawyer and civil rights activist in South Africa.
There is great excitement for this period drama series which has been described as India’s answer to The Crown. Over three seasons it will show how Gandhi, who later became known as the Mahatma or ‘great soul’, conceived the concept of nonviolent resistance that saw him take a leading part in India gaining independence from the British empire in the early part of the 20th century.
