Actor Ninad Kamat who was recently seen in the Netflix film Friday Night Plan, has bagged a meaty role in the Applause Entertainment-helmed series Gandhi. The series is helmed by Director Hansal Mehta. The series is based on historian and author Ramachandra Guha’s two books — “Gandhi before India” and “Gandhi: The Years that Changed the World”. The series will tell the story of Mahatma Gandhi’s life and times, in the same vein The Crown told the story of the British royals.

The series will star Pratik Gandhi as Mahatma Gandhi. It marks the director-actor duo’s third collaboration after Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story and Baai. As per media reports, Siddhartha Basu is attached as a historical consultant, factual advisor and creative consultant on the project.
