On the 152nd birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar marked the event with the most unusual birthday wish. He announced his next directorial film titled ‘Godse.’ As per the film’s title, Godse will be on the life of Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi.
Mahesh Manjrekar shared the film’s teaser poster on his Twitter handle, and he wrote, “The Deadliest Birthday wish ever! Get ready to witness a story no one dared to tell before! Sandeep Singh, Raaj Shaandilyaa, and Mahesh Manjrekar announce a film “Godse” on Mahatma Gandhi’s 152nd birth anniversary.”
He further revealed why he chose to tell the story of Godse. He wrote, “The story of Nathuram Godse has always been close to my heart. It takes a lot of courage to back a film of this nature. I always believe in hard-hitting subjects and uncompromised storytelling, and this one fits the bill. People do not know much about Godse other than he’s the man who fired at Gandhi. While telling his story, we neither want to patronize nor want to speak against anyone. We’ll leave it to the audience on who is right or wrong.”
Produced by Sandeep Singh’s Legend Global Studio and Raaj Shaandilyaa’s production house, ThinkInk Picturez. Mahesh Manjrekar will be directing this film. This is the third time Mahesh and Legend Global Studio collaborated. They previously worked on SwatantraVeer Savarkar and White.
The makers of the film have not yet revealed the cast. Godse is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2022.
