In a press statement, he expressed his happiness about being part of the high-profile series
“I’m excited to be part of the journey of telling the story of Gandhi’s early years in London. It’s an important aspect of history that hasn’t been told on screen before, and to be working with Hansal and Pratik is an honour and pleasure,” he said
The international cast for ‘Gandhi’ includes Libby Mai, Molly Wright, Ralph Adeniyi, James Murray, Lindon Alexander, Jonno Davies, and Simon Lennon. The series is based on Ramachandra Guha’s books ‘Gandhi Before India’ and ‘Gandhi – The Years that Changed the World’.
Tom Felton began his career with supporting roles in ‘The Borrowers and ‘Ana and the King’. However, he rose to fame with his portrayal of Draco Malfoy in the ‘Harry Potter’ film series. The franchise, which featured Daniel Radcliffe in the titular role, emerged as a global sensation. Felton also appeared in ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’, ‘Feed’, and the Netflix war drama ‘The Forgotten Battle’. He also impressed fans with his work on ‘The Flash Season 3’.
