AR Rahman to Compose Music for Hansal Mehta’s ‘Gandhi’ Series

Oscar and Grammy-winning music composer AR Rahman will be the music director of the upcoming series Gandhi directed by acclaimed filmmaker Hansal Mehta.

The makers of the show made the announcement on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti on Wednesday.

Speaking about this project, AR Rahman said in a statement, “Watching Gandhiji’s younger life is a revelation, his experiments with truth, life, and so many other things show the evolution of his character. I am deeply honoured to be scoring the music for this story, in collaboration with Applause Entertainment and under the articulate direction of Hansal Mehta”.

Hansal Mehta said, “Gandhi is a deeply human retelling of M K Gandhi’s life story, a story that continues to inspire generations. Having A.R. Rahman joining us on this journey is truly a dream come true. His music has the unique ability to elevate storytelling and for a project of this scale and significance, we couldn’t think of anyone better to bring the emotional and spiritual nuances of Gandhi’s life to the forefront”.

The series based on historian Ramachandra Guha’s writings has Pratik Gandhi in the title role.

This series is expected to release in early 2025.
