Subhash Ghai’s first short film 'Gandhi,' starring Manoj Bajpayee, to premiere at IFFI

MUMBAI: Celebrated filmmaker Subhash Ghai is set to make his mark in the short film genre with Gandhi, featuring the versatile Manoj Bajpayee in the lead. The film will have its prestigious premiere at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI), showcasing Ghai's unique cinematic perspective.  

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 with an 18-year-old student from Whistling Woods International around Gandhi Jayanti. He expressed, ‘Sir, mujhe guitar bajaake yeh occasion celebrate nahi karna hai,’ and that heartfelt statement inspired me to delve deeper into Gandhi’s relevance today.”

With Gandhi, Subhash Ghai steps into a new territory of storytelling, blending contemporary reflections with historical context. The short promises to leave audiences with a thought-provoking interpretation of Gandhi's ideals in today’s world.
