Waheeda Rehman Joins Sudhir Mishra’s Film on Mahatma Gandhi’s Life Chapter
Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra is directing a new film exploring a lesser-known 21-day period in Mahatma Gandhi's life, starring Manoj Bajpayee as Gandhi. Veteran actress Waheeda Rehman has joined the cast in a key role, though not as Gandhi's mother, Putlibai, as some reports suggested. Produced by Anubhav Sinha and Narendra Hirawat under A Benaras Mediaworks, the project also features Saurabh Shukla. Rehman was initially hesitant but was convinced by Mishra to participate and is currently shooting in Lucknow.
