More Gandhi connections in Bollywood<BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p> <br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Anupam Kher came up with a superlative performance in Jahnu Barua�s Maine Gandhi Ko Nahin Maara that released last year. The film didn�t have anyone playing the character of Gandhi. However Mahatma Gandhi still had a strong significance in the script. Kher played a retired teacher in the film who suffers from partial amnesia and psychological problems. It is later revealed that his character is under the false impression that he is responsible for the death of Mahatma Gandhi. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>We know so much about Gandhi. But how much do we know about his son? The long in making film Gandhi My Father explores this side of Gandhi. This film is a cinematic adaptation of the popular stage show �Gandhi v/s Gandhi� directed by Feroz Khan (not father of Fardeen Khan). Anil Kapoor was so inspired by the play that he is producing the film on it which is being directed by Feroz, himself. The film supposedly talks about Gandhi�s relationship with his son which has never been talked about so far in any film made on Gandhi. Akshaye Khanna plays Gandhi�s eldest son, Harilal Gandhi who adopted Islam in the 1930s and renamed himself as Abdullah, deeply offending his father, who disowned him. He later converted back to Hinduism. Shefali Shah plays Gandhi�s wife, Kasturba while Bhoomika Chawla plays Harilal�s wife, Gulab in the film. <BR><BR><br><p class=clear>&nbsp;</p>Finally there was Sunny Deol�s film Gandhi. The film was not based on Mahatma Gandhi but had Sunny playing the character of Deodhar Gandhi who follows Gandhism in today�s times. The film was supposed to be Priyanka Chopra�s debut vehicle. The title of the film was soon rechristened to �Deodhar Gandhi� to avoid any political controversies. The film is now shelved.
