Actors from both the South and Hindi cinema decided to dazzle us with their Gandhi Jayanti tributes. Kamal Haasan, that ever-so-eloquent thespian, compared Bapu to his dear ol’ dad. Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi waxed poetic about Gandhi’s values of “peace, perseverance, and truth.” Chiyaan Vikram dropped a video, and our boy Varun Dhawan posed with wax figures of Gandhi and Modi (because why not?). Oh, and Vijay Sethupathi? He’s teasing us about his upcoming film Gandhi Talks. 🎬

Kamal Haasan Gets All Sentimental

Kamal Haasan took to his X account, sharing a photo of Mahatma Gandhi and wrote a heartfelt message that probably made everyone tear up a little. “Gandhiji’s life lived in the service of his fellow man, shall withstand the test of time, as the seminal moment in human history, when one simple man altered the course of ideological evolution of human civilisation. As for me, I have taken my own journey both with the man and the idea. He shall always remain my conscience, my Bapu who like my father, taught me that honesty and love for all shall conquer all.”

Chiranjeevi’s Power Mantra

Chiranjeevi, on his X account, shared a photo of Mahatma Gandhi and captioned it with, “Remembering The Mahatma Peace, Perseverance and Truth were his Power.” Simple, yet powerful. Classic Chiru. 💪

Vikram’s Instagram Wisdom

Chiyaan Vikram took to Instagram and dropped some wisdom for us mere mortals: “Be the change that you wish to see in the world.’ #happygandhijayanti with love, Gandhi Mahaan.” Because nothing says "Gandhi Jayanti" quite like a Gandhi quote with a hashtag. 🙄

Varun Dhawan’s Wax Figure Antics

Varun Dhawan, never one to miss an Instagram moment, posted a pic posing next to wax figures of Gandhi and PM Modi. He captioned it, “Bande mein tha dum Vande Mataram (The man had strength) #gandhijayanti.” A for effort, buddy. 🤷‍♀️

Vijay Sethupathi Teases Gandhi Talks

Vijay Sethupathi, always the showman, shared an update on his upcoming film, Gandhi Talks, on X. “The voice that matters today, the voice that will echo soon in every corner! Gandhi Jayanthi wishes to all #GandhiTalks coming soon.” Can’t wait, honestly. 🎥
