Director and producer Aton Burrow planned for the film for twenty years, and in the last three years, he hired 80 British actors and 100 Indian actors to complete the huge film. "The Biography of Gandhi" won eight major Oscars in one fell swoop, and the box office was also very successful.
The starring Ben Kingsley is a British-Indian mixed, playing the role of both land and god, and his acting skills are also very good.
Since Gandhi is the leader of the Indian National Congress Party, and the leader of the National Congress Party Nehru who supported Attenborough's shooting of Gandhi is also the leader of the Congress Party. Therefore, the filming plan is also linked to the domestic political situation in India. When Nehru died in 1964, some people opposed the use of foreigners to film Gandhi's life. In 1977, Nehru's daughter and Congress Party leader Indira Gandhi stepped down, and the filming plan stopped again. It was not until 1980 that Indira Gandhi became prime minister again, and the film officially started.
