Filmmaker Sudhir Mishra is making an upcoming film in which actor Manoj Bajpayee will portray Mahatma Gandhi. Both outlets describe the project as centered on a lesser-known segment of Gandhi’s life: his final 21 days during India’s independence struggle.

The reporting says the film examines this period as a distinct historical chapter, highlighting Gandhi’s introspective journey during a pivotal time. The Hindu and Times of India both identify Anubhav Sinha as the film’s producer and Sudhir Mishra as its director.

While the outlets largely align on the core premise, they frame it with slightly different emphasis. One highlights that the film “uncovers” a less familiar 21-day episode from independence history, while the other characterizes the portrayal as a “nuanced” and “deeply personal” look at Gandhi during that time. Neither outlet provides additional details such as release dates, supporting cast, or specific events included in the script.
