Roshan Seth TV Shows and Movies

Seth got his first chance in Peter Brook’s touring production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in 1972. Seth first featured in films with Richard Lester’s Juggernaut (1974), but his career was stalled abruptly because subsequent filmmakers only wanted Seth for ethnic roles. Disappointed, he quit acting and returned to India, where he worked as an editor and journalist until Richard Attenborough approached him to play Jawaharlal Nehru in Gandhi in the early 1980s (1982).

Seth’s work in the film earned him a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. Seth also starred as Indian novelist Victor Mehta in David Hare’s biographical play A Map of the World in 1982, which toured Australia, London, and New York for several years. After the release of the multi-award-winning film Gandhi (1982), Seth was in high demand, and when A Map of the World’s Broadway run ended, his film career took off.
