In Hansal Mehta's upcoming film "Gandhi," featuring Pratik Gandhi in the lead role, new casting updates have been revealed, with the most notable addition being Tom Felton, renowned for his role in the Harry Potter series.
Tom will be seen playing the role of Josiah Oldfield, Gandhi’s friend in London during his student days, as per a media report. He said, “I’m excited to be part of the journey of telling the story of Gandhi’s early years in London. It’s an important aspect of history that hasn’t been told on screen before, and to be working with Hansal and Pratik is an honour and pleasure.” Hansal also shared this on X (formerly Twitter) and shared the names of other actors too who are joining the cast. Apart from Tom Felton, Libby Mai, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Jonno Davies, Simon Lennon will be seen in the show.
The series reunites Pratik Gandhi with director Hansal Mehta following their success with the web series "Scam 1992." Joining them is Bhamini Oza, portraying Kasturba Gandhi. Produced by Applause Entertainment, the show is adapted from Ramachandra Guha's books "Gandhi Before India" and "Gandhi – The Years that Changed the World."
