In 1962, Sir Richard Attenborough received a phone call from an Indian civil servant called Motilai Kothari, who was working with the Indian High Commission in London. Kothari was a devout follower of Gandhi, and was convinced that Attenborough would be the perfect choice to make a movie about him. Attenborough read Louis Fischer's biography of the Indian statesman and agreed with Motilai, though it would take him twenty years to fulfill the dream. His first act was to meet with the then Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru, and his daughter, Indira Gandhi, as well as Lord Mountbatten, the last Viceroy of India. Nehru approved of his plan and promised to help support the production, but his death in 1964 was just one in a long line of setbacks.
