The film has already been screened at several international film festivals, winning multiple awards. Sukriti Veni also received the Best Child Artist award for her performance. The movie is set for a worldwide theatrical release on January 24.
Sharing his thoughts on social media, Mahesh Babu wrote, “Happy to launch the trailer of #GandhiTathaChettu…Looks heartwarming and deeply touching… My best wishes to Sukriti and the entire team for their journey ahead**
The trailer suggests that the story revolves around a girl named Gandhi who, inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles, strives to protect her grandfather’s beloved tree and her village. The emotional narrative appears to be centered on how the girl follows the path of non-violence to achieve her goal. Sukumar himself plays a role in the film alongside his daughter Sukriti Veni. The trailer has received praise for its touching and heartfelt presentation.
In response to the trailer launch, the producers, director Padmavati Malladi, and presenter Tabitha Sukumar expressed their gratitude to Mahesh Babu for supporting the film.
Speaking on the occasion, director Padmavati Malladi stated, “In today’s world, negativity is spreading rapidly—be it through hatred or envy, especially on social media where conflicts and blame games are common. When we think of non-violence, the first person who comes to mind is Mahatma Gandhi. This film follows the story of a 13-year-old girl who, inspired by Gandhi’s ideals, tries to save her village. It’s a story every parent should show their children. The film conveys emotions that will touch every heart, leaving viewers with an indescribable feeling. We are confident that it will be well received by audiences when it releases on January 24.”
