Actor Pratik Gandhi, who rose to fame with his performance in the web show 'Scam 1992: The Harshad Mehta Story', is all set to portray Mahatma Gandhi in an upcoming biographical web

series. Production house Applause Entertainment recently announced that they are going to adapt historian Ramchandra Guha's books Gandhi Before India and Gandhi - The Years That Changed The World into a biopic series.

This can be a huge and significant role for Pratik's career and he is quite excited about it. According to a recent report in India Today, he stated, "Personally too, I strive to achieve and imbibe many of his qualities and teachings in my daily life. Moreover, playing the role of Mahatma is very close to my heart ever since my theatre days and now it is a huge honour to yet again essay the role of this legendary leader, on screen."

The actor concluded by saying, "I believe it’s a huge responsibility to essay this role with dignity, grace and conviction and I can’t wait to embark on this journey with Sameer Nair and his team at Applause."
