"The Making of the Mahatma" is a joint Indian-South African produced film. The correct answer is option 3: Shyam Benegal. Shyam Benegal is a highly revered filmmaker in the Indian film industry and he directed this movie which is about the early life of Mahatma Gandhi, reflecting on his experiences in South Africa.

Option 1, Peter Ustinov, is off because he was an English actor, writer, and filmmaker, but he is not linked to this movie. Option 2, Richard Attenborough, directed the film "Gandhi," not "The Making of Mahatma". "Gandhi" is a biographical movie based on the life of Mahatma Gandhi. Last but not least, option 4, Mira Nair is a distinguished Indian-American filmmaker, but she did not direct "The Making of the Mahatma".
