Renowned filmmaker Subhash Ghai has delved into the enduring relevance of Mahatma Gandhi through his docu-drama 'Gandhi: A Perspective'.

In conversation with ANI, Ghai discussed the film, emphasizing its importance as a non-commercial piece meant for educational settings across schools and colleges. 'This film should be seen by every child, as it explores timeless values,' said Ghai. His motivation to create the film emerged from a sense of responsibility rather than commercial intent.

IFFI 2024 also pays tribute to Indian cinema legends, marking the centenary of icons like Raj Kapoor and Mohammed Rafi.
