character of Hashmat Ullah, a Muslim mechanic, who rebuilds an old car to carry
the urn containing Mahatma Gandhi 's ashes to commemorate his death anniversary.

fiction. Gandhi Ji 's urn of ashes was left in the locker of State Bank of Bikaner
." "Our real-life character Hashmat Ullah , who is an auto mechanic in Allahabad
, repaired the car that was used for immersing the ashes. The story is about this
entire incident," he added. Tushar Gandhi , who is playing himself in the movie,
said that the movie highlights the importance of introspection and responsibilities
in life. "I feel that this film gives the message that it's very essential for
all us to introspect within ourselves. That is the central emotion in the film,"
said Gandhi The movie is directed by debutant director Amit Rai and has already
received many awards in international film festivals. The movie is slated to release
on January 29. |
