The trailer of director Rajkumar Santoshi‘s upcoming film Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh was released on Wednesday. The trailer gives a powerful insight into the harrowing time after India’s Partition when communal riots brought a fledgling nation to its knees. The film also gives us a parallel universe where Mahatma Gandhi survived Nathuram Godse’s bullets and sets about changing the man who tried to assassinate him — with a smile and conversation.

The roles of Nathuram Godse and Mahatma Gandhi are essayed by actors Chinmay Mandlekar and Deepak Antani and the resemblance is uncanny.
