Veteran filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi has returned to don the hat of a director with Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh a decade after his last directorial Phata Poster Nikla Hero (2013) starring Shahid Kapoor.

I need all your blessings and love.”

Please give her lots of love and virtual hugs and good wishes. Lots of exciting things coming up.”
On December 15, Tanisha shared the announcement video of Gandhi Godse Ek Yudh and lauding her father, wrote, “The ability of one man to be versatile enough to ace so many different genres still baffles me.
