The trailer of the upcoming Hindi feature film Kaun Sahi? was unveiled at a grand event in Mumbai, drawing significant attention from the film fraternity and media alike. The film, rooted in one of India’s most debated historical chapters, takes a bold look at the ideological clash between Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse — and the trailer has already sparked strong reactions.
A Story That Asks a Difficult Question
Set against the backdrop of January 30, 1948, Kaun Sahi? revisits the events surrounding Gandhi’s assassination, exploring the contrasting philosophies of non-violence and resistance through powerful, forceful dialogues. The film does not shy away from presenting both perspectives — making it one of the more provocative Bollywood offerings of 2026.
The trailer, described by the team as a “clash of ideologies,” signals that this is not a conventional Bollywood drama. It is a serious, thought-provoking cinematic attempt to hold a mirror up to a defining moment in Indian history.
Amit Riyaan Commands the Screen
Stepping into the highly challenging role of Nathuram Godse is actor Amit Riyaan, who has built a strong reputation across Hindi and Marathi cinema with films like Satya-2, Atkan Chatkan, Lokshahi, Tandoor, Rajwade & Sons, and most recently Rabbit House — the latter earning him award recognition. He has also appeared in OTT web series.
With Kaun Sahi?, Riyaan takes on arguably the most complex character of his career — one that demands both restraint and intensity. If the trailer is any indication, the actor is more than up to the task.

Producer Dr. Pawan Todi Steps in Front of the Camera
In a striking creative decision, the film’s producer Dr. Pawan Todi — who helms the project under Vinayaka Films & Television in association with AAA Studios — has also taken on the role of Mahatma Gandhi. A seasoned actor himself, Todi’s dual role as both producer and lead performer adds an unusual personal investment to the project.
A Stellar Supporting Cast
The film boasts an experienced ensemble. Veteran actress Varsha Usgaonkar features in a prominent role, alongside Raj Premi (known for Jai Hanuman), Vijay Aidesani, Aarti Sharma, and Lalitesh Jha.
The Creative Team Behind the Film
Kaun Sahi? is directed by Manoj Singh and written by Anuj Kumar, whose dialogues — sharp and layered — were already being noticed in the trailer. The film’s music is composed by veteran Dilip Sen, with cinematography by Dharmendra Biswas.
