The upcoming film Gandhi Talks, starring actors Vijay Sethupathi, Arvind Swamy, and Aditi Rao Hydari, has just dropped its trailer. The latest glimpse brings back the charm of the silent movie era, but with a dramatic tale set in modern times. Here’s a look at the trailer of Gandhi Talks, which will release in theatres on January 30, 2026.

What does Gandhi Talks trailer show

The Gandhi Talks trailer begins by paying homage to Dadasaheb Phalke, the father of Indian cinema. We then see Vijay Sethupathi’s character carrying an elderly woman on his shoulders, interacting with her in a limited and then urban setting. Arvind Swamy is then introduced, who appears to be a businessman or builder in Mumbai, with wide shots of the metropolitan city.

The trailer then peaks as it shows several loving moments between Vijay Sethupathi and Aditi Rao Hydari. AR Rahman’s background score is perfectly in sync with the scenes as the trailer turns more dramatic. It ends with Vijay Sethupathi walking away from a wall that features the revered figures of Chhatrapati Shivaji, Ambedkar, Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh, among several others.
