Mumbai, January 3

The release date for the upcoming film 'Gandhi Talks', which stars Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Aditi Rao Hydari, has been announced.

Zee Studios shared the update on social media along with a video.

'Gandhi Talks' is directed by Kishore Belekar and is different from most films, as it is said to have no spoken dialogue.

Speaking about the vision behind the film, director Kishore Belekar, as per a release, shared, "Gandhi Talks is a film about trusting silence. As Indian cinema marks over a century of storytelling, we wanted to return to the medium's most elemental form, pure performance and emotion."

"The actors embraced that vulnerability completely, and A.R. Rahman's score became the film's voice. With Zee Studios', Meera Chopra's support, we were able to make a bold, honest piece of cinema," he added.

Along with Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy and Aditi Rao Hydari, the film also stars Siddharth Jadhav in a crucial role.

The music of the film has been composed by AR Rahman.

The film will release in theatres on January 30, 2026.

'Gandhi Talks' is said to be a black comedy. The film examines the gap between Mahatma Gandhi's ideas and the realities of today's society. The story follows a young man struggling with money and how his life intersects with that of a thief. The film is expected to address values, greed, and society.

Vijay Sethupathi was last seen in the film 'Thalaivan Thalaivii', directed by Pandiraj. Sendhil Thyagarajan and Arjun Thyagarajan produced the movie under the banner of Sathya Jyothi Films and TG Thyagarajan. It hit theatres on July 25, 2025.

Aditi Rao Hydari was last seen in 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar', directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

Finally, something different from the usual masala fare. Aditi Rao Hydari is such a graceful performer, perfect for a dialogue-less film. Hoping it's not just an art-house experiment but something that connects with the common audience.

Black comedy on Gandhi's ideas? Interesting mix. Hope they handle the subject with the respect it deserves and don't just use his name for publicity. The cast is stellar though, especially excited to see Arvind Swamy back.

As someone who loves world cinema, this sounds fascinating. Relying purely on performance and Rahman's music is a bold move. It could be a masterpiece or fall flat. Fingers crossed it's the former. More power to filmmakers trying new things.

AR Rahman's score as the film's "voice" is the biggest selling point for me. His music can convey emotions words sometimes can't. The gap between Gandhian values and modern greed is a story that needs telling. Hoping for a meaningful experience.

Respectfully, I'm a bit skeptical. A silent film in 2026? It feels like a gimmick. I love all the actors, but I hope the "no dialogue" choice serves the story and isn't just for the sake of being different. The premise sounds strong on its own.
