He stood for courage, non- violence, faith'the values today's world seeks most...Mahatma Gandhi the doyen of peace. UTV Television that bought to Indians its first Hindi daily soap'is all set to co-produce another first for the Indian television with Smriti Irani Productions Limited, the epic of all epics-the life and times of Mahatma Gandhi. This drama series would seek to tell the whole life story of Gandhi and his incessant search for Truth. And not just the things the Mahatma is known for.

All said and done, nevertheless this project is surly to be one of the pioneering ventures as this is for the fist time an Indian Production house that is planning a project for the world wide audience. Discussion with the US and UK broadcasters are in the pipeline.

"Mahatma Gandhi was also a husband, father, a family man. Though his sacrifices have been chronicled on screen before, we would also like to highlight the sacrifices made by his family, a story largely untold. We would also be shooting on the actual location to give authenticity it deserves", says Smriti Irani.

"UTV television has always looked for innovation in what ever it ventures into. When Smriti came up with the concept I found it very interesting and novel. Gandhi has been one of the greatest political leader and thinkers of 20th century, we would like to encapsulate the golden era with great dignity, panoramic sweep and excellence in production," says Ajit, COO, UTV Television.
