Anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare on Sunday watched “Welcome Back Gandhi”, the Hindi version of the Tamil film “Muthalvar Mahatma”, which portrays Gandhi revisiting earth and rededicating himself to the service of the humanity to tackle the problems of the modern day society.
Mr. Hazare watched the film in a preview theatre at the request of the film producer-cum-director A. Balakrishnan.
“I visited Pune twice and invited him to watch the movie. I also met him in Delhi and made the request and he agreed to see the movie during his visit to Chennai,” said Mr. Balakrishnan, who has also made a film on former Chief Minister Kamaraj. Music director Ilayaraja scored the music for the film on Gandhi and there are 7 songs.
