United

that
bought
to
Indians
its
first
Hindi
daily
soap
Shanti
is
all
set
to
co-produce
yet
another
first
for
the
Indian
television
with
Smriti
Irani
Productions
Limited,
the
epic
of
all
epics-the
life
and
times
of
the
doyen
of
peace
-Mahatma
Gandhi-which
would
seek
to
tell
the
whole
life-story
of
Gandhi
and
his
incessant
search
for
Truth.
It
is
a
pioneering
venture
as
this
is
for
the
fist
time
an
Indian
Production
house
is
planning
a
project
for
the
world-
wide
audience.
Discussion
with
the
US
and
UK
broadcasters
are
in
the
pipeline.
"Mahatma
Gandhi
was
also
a
husband,
father,
a
family
man.
Though
his
sacrifices
have
been
chronicled
on
screen
before,
we
would
also
like
to
highlight
the
sacrifices
made
by
his
family,
a
story
largely
untold.
We
would
also
be
shooting
on
the
actual
location
to
give
authenticity
it
deserves" says
Smriti
Irani.
"Gandhi
has
been
one
of
the
greatest
political
leader
and
thinkers
of
20th
century,
we
would
like
to
encapsulate
the
golden
era
with
great
dignity,
panoramic
sweep
and
excellence
in
production"
