Four months into 2024, Pratik Gandhi sits comfortably with two much-loved films, Madgaon Express and Do Aur Do Pyaar, behind him. But what lies ahead makes the actor happier—the web series, Gandhi. Based on historian Ramachandra Guha’s books Gandhi Before India and Gandhi: The Years That Changed the World, Hansal Mehta’s show dissects the man behind the world-renowned leader Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, better known as Mahatma Gandhi. Pratik, who recently kicked off its London schedule, says, “I get nervous when I do a series; even on my 200th show, I’m nervous. On Gandhi, I try not to think of the magnitude or expectations. I only think of my excitement. I try to bring the rigour that will pull me through for 120 days. It’s a plus that Hansal sir and everyone in the crew also has that rigour.”
