Over three hundred thousand extras appeared in the funeral sequence. About two hundred thousand were volunteers, and ninety-four thousand five hundred sixty were paid a small fee (under contract). The sequence was filmed on January 31, 1981, the 33rd Anniversary of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi's funeral. Eleven crews shot over twenty thousand feet of film, which was pared down to two minutes and five seconds in the final release. See more »
