Gandhi comes back to life

Director R Balakrishnan, who had directed the film Kamaraj, a period film based on the life of Kamaraj, is back working on another flick. The film is titled Mudhalvar Mahatma. The director said that Mudhalvar Mahatma will not be period film but is an imagination of what would happen if Mahatma Gandhi comes back to life. Newbie Kanagaraj, who closely resembles Ghandiji, will play the title role. Based on the political situations and keeping in mind the younger generation, Mudhalvar Mahatma will have no song sequences, says the director.

The shooting of Mudhalvar Mahatma was on in Thirupporur, in which the Gandhiji’s Vardha Seva Ashram was erected by art director Easwar.
