Movie on Mahatma killer
Bollywood is planning a movie on the life of Nathuram Godse who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948. Actor Darshan Pandya from the TV show called `Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar` will play the lead role of Nathuram Godse. The movie titled `Godse Trial` will be directed by Vijay Kaushik and produced by Alok Arbind Thakur and Aditya Joshi. The film will dwell more upon Godse`s days in jail during his trial, but it will not be a courtroom drama. It will also touch upon some lesser known facts about Godse`s personal life. The attempt is to show a `nefarious man`s perception on Gandhi`. Producer Joshi says the director approached him and Thakur with the film`s script. Thakur said he liked bringing out the psyche of the man who was well aware of the consequences, but still killed Mahatma Gandhi. Joshi feels the script is very objective. They are not trying to take sides, but will show Godse the way he was. Director Vijay says Godse seems like a patriot but his own style of activist. The film will attempt to show Godse`s feelings after he killed Mahatma, someone who Godse otherwise respected a lot. The film will be made on a very modest budget and will go on the floors in 2015.
