“Coming generations will not be able to believe that such a person made of flesh and blood came to this earth.” This was one of the most epic quotes ever released by Albert Einstein about Mahatma Gandhi – a man who brought revolution to an entire nation. The man we called Bapu and the man whose birthday is celebrated as International Day of Non-Violence on 2nd October!
However, Bollywood and cinema did not contribute as much to Gandhiji as it should have. In fact, when we think of actors who have played the role of the Father of the Nation on screen, you will have three images from three films that are very specific and accurate – Gandhi, Lage Raho Munna Bhai and Gandhi, My Father!
However, in the last decade Mahatma Gandhi contributed largely to the Indian box office due to the national holiday. From Bang Bang to War, October 2 has been a great day in terms of box office collection. But we decided to learn a little about the three on-screen Gandhis who became iconic and what their net worth is!
