Taking over Toronto
Filmmaker Hansal Mehta has hit a hat-trick. The director screened two episodes of his upcoming series, Gandhi, at the ongoing 50th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), marking his third project at the coveted fest in his career so far. Hansal’s first time at TIFF was with Rajkummar Rao-starrer Shahid (2012). He returned to the festival with Omerta (2016). This time, he was joined by the lead actors of Gandhi, real-life couple Pratik Gandhi and Bhamini Oza, and musician AR Rahman, who has composed the score for the series, among others. In an Instagram post, Hansal expressed how far he has come — from barely affording a meal during his first time in TIFF to now screening his most personal work yet. He said, “It gave me a voice, a place on the world stage.” About his time in Toronto this time, he added, “This time feels different. This time feels so special. I’m here with the most personal work of my life surrounded by so many of the people who made it possible.” Pratik and Bhamini also shared a string of pictures as they were heading for the special evening, and captioned the post, “The drive to the première.” Gandhi, based on Ramchandra Guha’s Gandhi Before India and Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, sees Pratik in the titular role, while Bhamini plays Mahatma Gandhi’s wife, Kasturba Gandhi.
