As Bollywood cinema evolved, new technologies were introduced which gave the viewers an intense experience of watching. As a result, these scripts heavily depend on VFX and other technologies to enhance the viewer’s experience. However, in the earlier cinema, there used to be no such VFX. Despite that, some movies were made on such a large scale that their examples are cited till date. Today, we will tell you about a film which was made on a large scale and no use of green screen was done. Despite all of that, the movie turned out to be a huge hit.

In 1982, a film was released which was based on the life of India’s biggest leader – Gandhi. The movie was not directed by any Indian filmmaker; instead, the director was a foreigner. If you are wondering which movie we are talking about, then the movie in discussion is Gandhi.

Helmed by Richard Attenborough, and featured in lead role. The movie was based on the life of Gandhi. While the entire movie gave lessons to the viewers, one particular scene which depicts Gandhi’s funeral left everyone teary-eyed. Not thousands but lakhs of people were needed to shoot this scene, and no such scene was filmed on this huge level.

On January 31, 1981, this particular scene was shot in New Delhi. According to media reports, lakhs and lakhs of volunteers were required to shoot this scene. If reports are to be believed, then almost 3 lakh people participated in the scene, and the film Gandhi made a Guinness World Record for using so many extras in a single scene, specifically the funeral scene.

However, shooting this scene was not an easy task. Eleven camera units filmed it and the Indian Army also managed the arrangements. Controlling the crowd and shooting everything simultaneously was a big challenge. According to some media reports, one-third of the budget of the film Gandhi was given by the Government of India, which shows the historical importance of this film.
