Manoj Bajpayee to play Mahatma Gandhi in Sudhir Mishra film
Manoj Bajpayee will play Mahatma Gandhi in a theatrical film directed by Sudhir Mishra, focusing on a lesser-known 21-day chapter of India's independence. Saurabh Shukla is also in the cast. The film is produced by Anubhav Sinha and Narendra Hirawat under Benaras Mediaworks, presented by NH Studioz.
The story is set as India steps into freedom and Delhi becomes the centre of political power. Gandhi chooses to walk away, and the film explores the personal and political circumstances behind that decision. Director Sudhir Mishra said the film looks at what lay beneath that famous choice and depicts a leader redefining his path.
The project marks Mishra's return to theatrical cinema after a long gap. The title, release date, and other cast details are yet to be announced.

Cinemaexpress.com adds detail on Mishra's National Awards and Sinha's past films, while telugu360.com keeps the report shorter. The coverage is uniform straight reporting. The key takeaway is that this is a focused biographical drama on a specific period, not a full Gandhi biopic. The next step is to watch for the title, release date, and additional casting announcements.
