About

Father of Nation, popular as "Mahatma Gandhi," originally known as Mohandas Karam Chand Gandhi was a leader, lawyer, and a great social activist. He was not only a great socialist who played an amazing role as a leader in the Independence of India but also a leader who always supported nonviolence and organized Satyagrah protests against British rule; he and thousands of Indians supported his non-violent approach and took part in his Protest with peace. Indian public had huge respect for him and addressed him as "Bapu", which means "father" in Gujarati. Thousands of people used to follow him and gather and join his ways whenever he took any stands against British rule.

Many times he went to jail for the freedom of the country, and not only in India but in the entire world, he was popular. He spent all his life for the country, and in 1948, he also died while working for the country. All his sacrifices and efforts gave him great reorganization as he got the title of "Mahatma", which means saint in Hindi. Mahatma Gandhi's popularity didn't even stop after his death, and now he is known as one of the most popular personalities in the world and is taught as "father of Nation" in textbooks for schools. Many great personalities like Martin Luther King or Nelson Mandela followed his principles, and many still are; he is an inspiration worldwide.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British rule. He inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world. The honorific Mahātmā (from Sanskrit, meaning great-souled, or venerable), first applied to him in South Africa in 1914, is now used throughout the world.

Born and raised in a Hindu family in coastal Gujarat, Gandhi trained in the law at the Inner Temple in London and was called to the bar at the age of 22. After two uncertain years in India, where he was unable to start a successful law practice, Gandhi moved to South Africa in 1893 to represent an Indian merchant in a lawsuit. He went on to live in South Africa for 21 years. Here, Gandhi raised a family and first employed nonviolent resistance in a campaign for civil rights. In 1915, aged 45, he returned to India and soon set about organising peasants, farmers, and urban labourers to protest against discrimination and excessive land tax.

Assuming leadership of the Indian National Congress in 1921, Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for easing poverty, expanding women's rights, building religious and ethnic amity, ending untouchability, and, above all, achieving swaraj or self-rule. Gandhi adopted the short dhoti woven with hand-spun yarn as a mark of identification with India's rural poor. He began to live in a self-sufficient residential community, to eat simple food, and undertake long fasts as a means of both introspection and political protest. Bringing anti-colonial nationalism to the common Indians, Gandhi led them in challenging the British-imposed salt tax with the 400 km (250 mi) Dandi

“It’s a satire on global politics. It shows how a common man is used by the political parties just to get some personal advantages. My writer and I worked extremely hard for it as the film demanded a lot of research. I wanted this film to be made first before any other film,” Ashish told PTI.

Shot extensively in England and Indore, “Welcome to Karachi” will hit theatres on May 21.

The director pointed out that people will get the same dose of entertainment as they got in the Akshay Kumar-Asin starrer film.

“My last film was an entertainer. Similarly, in this film you will not get bored for a moment. It’s a serious subject but I have narrated it in an entertaining way. People will enjoy the film. It has a message at the end which will make people think over the issue,” he said.

“Welcome to Karachi” had initially roped in Irrfan Khan but later he was replaced by Jackky because the “Piku” star left the film due to some creative issues with the makers.

“We were doing the film initially with Irrfan ji. But he had some creative issues with us and we couldn’t resolve it. After a mutual consent, we decided not to continue the film with Irrfan ji and roped in Jackky for it because we couldn’t stop the shooting at that moment,” Ashish said.

The filmmaker, who started off his career as an assistant director to Anil Devgan in the film “Blackmail”, said Jackky is a surprise package in the upcoming movie.

“I convinced Jackky to do the film and assured him that we will make the appropriate changes in the script. I think Jackky did full justice to the role and people will love him. And people will never feel that somebody else was supposed to do the film,” he said.
