He announced his project on Instagram, calling it a "sweeping story of Indian independence" based on the true story of Mahatma Gandhi. He stated in articulation that the project carries a "huge responsibility" of attempting Gandhi's job with the utmost ease, poise, and conviction.
Pratik captioned the post, "Applause Entertainment is all set to bring alive a sweeping tale of the Indian Independence seen through the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi. Based on the iconic books by Ramachandra Guha, the content studio will craft an authentic narrative on the journey of a legendary icon who defined the history of modern India. I am excited to embark on this journey with Sameer Nair and his team at Applause."
The content will tell an authentic story about the journey of a legendary icon who defined the history of modern India. Telling the story of India through Gandhi's eyes, he was a man who embodied the spirit and soul of the country and dedicated his life to making it a better place for all of its citizens. The series will be shot in various locations around the world. To take advantage of the country's culture and wealth, some of the filmings will take place in India.
This series will take viewers behind the scenes of Mahatma Gandhi's life. From his childhood in South Africa to his life in India, the next generation of filmmakers will reveal some lesser-known aspects of his life and the impact they had on him.

All of his compatriots and contemporary freedom fighters will be featured in the series. They all contributed significantly to the formation of modern India. Bapu's philosophy of nonviolent resistance has inspired people all over the world. He demonstrated to the world that a revolution, resistance, and the reclaiming of freedom do not always have to be violent. I believe we will see the reason why Gandhi is so famous in our country and how his legacy lives on in us today.
Author Ramachandra Guha is confident that the series will do justice to his books. He said, ¡°Along the way, he made many friends and not a few enemies too. I am delighted that my books on Gandhi are now being adapted for this ambitious and exciting series. I am confident that it will bring the complex contours of Gandhi's life and the moral essence of his teachings to viewers across the globe.¡±

Applause Entertainment CEO Sameer Nair stated, "Ramachandra Guha is a historian and storyteller par excellence, and we are honoured to adapt his classic books -- Gandhi before India, and Gandhi - The Years That Changed the World -- to screen. We couldn't think of anyone better than the incredibly talented Pratik Gandhi to bring alive the Mahatma, and his philosophies of peace and love that shook the world. We believe that only a richly layered, multi-season drama series will do real justice to Gandhi and to all the great personalities that embed the proud and illustrious history of India's Freedom Struggle. This is a story of the birthing of modern India for a global audience."
Pratik Gandhi recently appeared in web series "Modern Love: Mumbai". He played a gay character and his father refused to accept his lover, played by chef Ranveer Brar.
