As per a latest update by the makers, it is the character of debutant actress Tanisha Santoshi that plays a big part in bringing both Gandhi and Godse together in the film. She happens to be the daughter of Rajkumar Santoshi.

Speaking about her debut, Tanisha said in a statement, “Being part of a one-of-a-kind film that has some of the best technicians working on the film is a dream come true for me. There were so many things I got to learn about (the) time period, and even working with such experienced actors was an enriching experience for me as an artist.”

Not surprisingly, Tanisha has a lot to say about being directed by her father. “Coming to the captain of the ship the director Rajkumar Santoshi, from watching him direct some of the biggest stars to having him direct me was such a surreal moment in my life,” she added. “I will never forget the first day of shoot when he called out ‘action’. He is the best director for any actor, because he enacts each scene for the artist and he knows exactly what he wants. He is a perfectionist and always extracts the best from the actor. I feel blessed to have worked with him in my first film itself. He is a whole film institution in himself and the learning’s with him are endless.”

Gandhi Godse – Ek Yudh is releasing on India’s Republic Day on January 26.
