700 artisans set sets, which shoot 380 days, the government of India also gave money into the budget

Today’s films are more good than ever. Indian and global theater quickly moves with major budgets, excellent special effects and modern technology. We see big fights, flying superheroes and large crowds on the screen. All of this is created using VFX and CGI. But do you know that there is a film that still contains the world record, and that no computer effect has been used in it? The film is based on the history of India and has done something that has not been able to do any other film so far. The 1982 film Gandhi, directed by Richard Attenborough, made history. There was a scene in this film with Mahatma Gandhi’s funeral. Many people had to make this scene real and impressive. The shooting took place on January 31, 1981 in Delhi, which took place exactly 33 years after Gandhiji’s funeral. The film Gandhi team collected 94,560 salary activists and more than 200,000 volunteers. Actor Ben Kingsley, who played Gandhiji, remained silent, while thousands of people walked around him. This scene was filled with true feelings. No trick, no green screen. Although the scene was only two minutes long, it needed a lot of hard work to prepare and film it. The Indian army and several local groups helped control the crowd. Eleven camera teams filmed the scene and the director kept everything right. The scene set the Guinness World Record of most people involved in a film. A record that has not broken to date. Not only that, a third of the film Gandhi’s budget was given by the Government of India. Nowadays, most crowd scenes are filmed with CGI, but Gandhi has shown that real people can make a film more powerful and true. It wasn’t just a scene. It was a tribute to Gandhiji’s life. Even after so many years, this moment of theater is something special and memorable. Share this story -tags
