Mumbai, March 27 (ANI): Actors Pratik Gandhi and Patralekhaa spoke about the pressure they faced while portraying social reformers Mahatma Jyotirao Phule and Savitribai Phule in their upcoming film Phule. Directed by Ananth Mahadevan, the film stars Pratik as Jyotirao Phule and Patralekhaa as Savitribai Phule. The story highlights their fight against caste discrimination and gender inequality. In recent times, historical dramas in Bollywood have faced backlash from religious organisations and political parties. Chhaava is one of the most recent examples. Pratik's upcoming film, Phule, brings the revolutionary story of 19th-century social reformers Jyotirao and Savitribai Phule to the big screen. His portrayal of Jyotirao Phule has received positive feedback from critics and viewers after the trailer's release.
