Pratik Gandhi made a mark on the international stage with the screening of three of his most powerful works across Canada and the United States. Recently, Gandhi — Hansal Mehta’s ambitious biopic series in which Pratik plays Mahatma Gandhi —premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Adding to the occasion, Pratik’s wife and acclaimed theatre actor Bhamini Oza Gandhi, who portrays Kasturba Gandhi in the series, was also present at the premiere. Their on-screen pairing as Mahatma and Kasturba brings an authentic and intimate dimension to the narrative, and together they will represent the project on this prestigious global stage.
Following TIFF, Pratik will travel to Calgary for the India Film Festival of Alberta (IFFA) 2025, where his critically acclaimed film Phule will be screened on September 14. In the film, Pratik steps into the role of social reformer Jyotirao Phule, bringing to life the legacy of one of India’s most progressive visionaries.
Rounding off this international tour, Pratik will head to the United States, where Ghamaasan will be showcased at the Chicago South Asian Film Festival (CSAFF) on September 20. This political and philosophical drama further underscores Pratik’s range and his ability to delve into layered, complex characters.
Reflecting on this journey, Pratik Gandhi shared:
“It’s an incredible honour to see my work travel across continents. Gandhi & Phule, as stories are deeply rooted in our history and society, yet their themes connect universally. Ghamasaan, on the other hand, takes us to the country’s heartland with a tense rural thriller that focuses on the rise of a young nation still negotiating with its past. I am truly excited to share these stories with audiences in Canada and the US, and to see how they resonate across cultures.”
