The venue will be Britain’s film awards BAFTA on December 3. Sir Ben Kingsley says, “We are having a special screening of the film on the 25 years anniversary and the entire cast of the film will be reunited on this special occasion.” Are they inviting the Indian cast of the film as well? “I’m being told that they are inviting all the cast of the film.
I have given my confirmation,” he says adding, “In today’s world the teaching and principle of Gandhi is needed and that’s why we have decided to show the film again. I remember last year, Gandhi was screened in the Palestine refugee camp and it had a soothing effect on the refugees. They were influenced by Gandhi’s Satyagraha movement and it was the most touching moment of my life. Later it was shown throughout the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and in other refugee camps. It was also screened at the largest Palestinian refugee communities in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.”
