According to Geoffrey C. Ward's essay about this movie in Mark C. Carnes' book "Past Imperfect: History According to the Movies", Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru had told Sir Richard Attenborough in 1963 not to deify Gandhi, since Gandhi was too great a man to be deified. The essay makes the point that Attenborough turned it into a mantra that lost its meaning and that this movie essentially deified Gandhi, leaving out anything about his life that could be construed as negative.
