Anil Kapoor is producing film GANDHI, MY FATHER, So is Mahatma the latest flavour in Bollywood. With many latest and recent past films depicting Gandhi as an icon, one wonders
His soon to be released GANDHI, MY FATHER, presents Gandhi mainly as the father of his children. It is a point-of-view narration by Harilal Gandhi, his eldest offspring, who died, unwept and unsung, alone and unattended to, at Mumbai’s Sion Hospital a few months after his father’s assassination. Anil Kapoor Films Company and Eros International have jointly produced GANDHI, MY FATHER. Feroz Abbas Khan, who directed the notable theatre production along the same theme under the title Mahatma v/s Gandhi, has written and directed this film. Mutations have been strong among the contemporary Indian audience as well where a film like MURDER rubs shoulders with one of the biggest hits in recent years, LAGE RAHO MUNNABHAI where Gandhi appears as a motivational ghost in front of the atypical hero Munnabhai.
Shyam Benegal made a historical film on the early years of Mahatma Gandhi called THE MAKING OF THE MAHATMA (1995). The film essayed a strong portrayal of Gandhi’s wife Kasturba (Pallavi Joshi). Benegal’s film brings out the sacrifices a woman must make, albeit with reluctance, when she is married to a man with a mission, at a time when he is being shaped to become the father of a nation.
About GANDHI, MY FATHER, Feroz Abbas Khan says, “Gandhi has always been compelling, complex and strangely contemporary. Sir Richard Attenborough introduced ‘Mahatma’ to the West. I grew up understanding Gandhi through others till I discovered a deep wound he carried in his heart. Somewhere in the shadows of the great man lived his son, roaming the streets of India like a beggar. He converted to Islam and became Abdullah Gandhi as a rebellion, then reconverted to Hinduism as a penance, finally drinking himself to death. Mahatma Gandhi could transform the soul of a nation but couldn’t save the soul of his own son,” says “Dear Bapu,” wrote Harilal to his father once. “In your laboratory of experiments, unfortunately, I am the one truth that has gone wrong…Yours Harilal.” Elsewhere, he said, “He is the greatest father you have…but he is the one father I wish I did not have.” As for Gandhi, he once said, “The greatest regret of my life… Two people I could never convince – my Muslim friend Mohammed Ali Jinnah and my own son Harilal Gandhi.” Akshay Khanna plays Harilal, the mentally battered, emotionally disturbed son of Mahatma Gandhi, an embarrassment to the entire Gandhi clan so much so that no one came to his bedside when he lay dying. “I have tried to unfold this personal tragedy of a great father and his no-good son against the backdrop of racial hatred in South Africa and the colonial humiliation in India because these two historical truths moved me deeply. My search for the human side of the Mahatma took me to South Africa and to different parts of India, passing through libraries, memories of scholars and his immediate family members. I then decided to make a film about a principled father and his unfortunate son. For me, Gandhi evolved into a greater human being through his personal, political and social struggles because he always placed his principles and his quest for human dignity above everything else,” sums up Khan. Says Anil Kapoor, “I decided to produce this film because it is a story that gives a fascinating insight into Mahatma Gandhi’s life not so much as the father of the nation but as father to his son Harilal. As producer, I believe in setting international standards for my production banner.” Darhshan Jariwalla, a famous actor of the Gujarati stage, plays Gandhi. Shefali Chhaya performs Kasturba while Bhumika Chawla plays Hari’s wife Gulab Gandhi.

Ileana - tollywood's top actress
Ileana, latest poster girl of the Telugu film industry, is riding the wave of success with just two films -- Devadasu and Pokiri. Lady luck appears to be smiling on this charming girl as she has been catapulted to the top. All top directors are trying to rope her in for their projects. She has an impressive line-up of films that have come her way Munna with Prabhas, Jadoo with Ravi Krishna (A M Rathnam's son), as well as untitled films with Ravi Teja and Krishnavamsi. Her recent injury (sustained on the sets) has not dampened her spirits either. It looks as if this non-Telugu speaking girl -- another of many who come in from Mumbai -- is certainly going to push up the glamour quotient while doing a pretty good job of
acting as well.
