Pratik Gandhi is all set to make his namesake proud. On September 6, Gandhi, Hansal Mehta’s ambitious biopic series produced by Samer Nair’s Applause Entertainment, in which Pratik plays Mahatma Gandhi, will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding to the occasion, Pratik’s wife and acclaimed theatre actor Bhamini Oza Gandhi, who portrays Kasturba Gandhi in the series, will also be present at the premiere.

Following TIFF, Pratik will travel to Calgary for the India Film Festival of Alberta (IFFA) 2025, where his critically acclaimed film Phule will be screened on September 14. In the film, Pratik steps into the role of social reformer Mahatma Jyotirao Phule, bringing to life the legacy of one of India’s most progressive visionaries.

Rounding off this international tour, Pratik will head to the United States, where Ghamasaan will be showcased at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) on September 20. This political and philosophical drama further underscores Pratik’s range and his ability to delve into layered, complex characters.

Reflecting on this journey, Pratik Gandhi said, “It’s an incredible honour to see my work travel across continents. Gandhi & Phule, as stories are deeply rooted in our history and society, yet their themes connect universally. Ghamasaan, on the other hand, takes us to the country’s heartland with a tense rural thriller that focuses on the rise of a young nation still negotiating with its past. I am truly excited to share these stories with audiences in Canada and the US, and to see how they resonate across cultures.”
