He shared, “I am happy that in IFFI 2024, ‘Gandhi: A Perspective’, which is my film of 30 minutes received a lot of praise. We call it a docu-drama. It was screened, and people praised it a lot. I made it as a responsible citizen, not just as a filmmaker. It is not commercial cinema. Everyone says that this film should be seen by every child. And it should be shown in every school and college.”

“There are questions raised about Gandhi among the youth. They wonder why this happened. That is why I wrote such a story and made such a film. Gandhi is still relevant today and his thoughts, values and principles are timeless,” added Ghai at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI)

The ace director is known for creating iconic films such as ‘Kalicharan’, ‘Vidhaata’, ‘Hero’, ‘Karma’, ‘Ram Lakhan’, ‘Saudagar’, ‘Khal Nayak’ and ‘Taal’.
