Mumbai, February 26 – Filmmaker Subhash Ghai has reflected on the fact that films stay in people's minds and hearts forever, and that people tend to forget the filmmaker after a certain point.
The veteran filmmaker emphasized that "people remember films, but not filmmakers for very long," in a recent social media post, highlighting that ultimately, it is the work that endures in the hearts of audiences.
Sharing a picture featuring the names of many of his iconic films mounted aesthetically on a wall, Ghai wrote, "Nothing matters except his work, which reflects his thoughts through his films. This applies to cinema as well. We remember films, not filmmakers, for very long. So, keep searching for excellence until the end of our time, with AI within you, and your own 'third eye'."
Referring to the picture shared by Subhash Ghai, it shows a vertical installation with titles of his celebrated films such as Karz, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar, Khalnayak, Pardes, Taal, Yaadein, Kisna, Black & White, and Yuvvraaj, among others.
Over the past five decades, the star filmmaker has delivered numerous hits under his banner, Mukta Arts.
For those unfamiliar, it was Ghai who launched actors Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri in the 1983 blockbuster, Hero, a film that went on to become one of the biggest hits of its time.
Recently, Subhash Ghai had taken a trip down memory lane as he received a copy of the original poster of his 1982 action entertainer, "Vidhaata".
The movie is said to be extremely special for the director as it marked his primary collaboration with some of Bollywood legends like Dilip Kumar, Sanjeev Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, Padmini Kolhapure, and Sanjay Dutt.
Publishing the original poster of "Vidhaata" on his social media account, Ghai penned an emotional note, reminiscing about the good old days.
He further joked that the film has so many stories and memories associated with it that he could write an entire book about it.
The "Taal" maker shared, "Thank you, Anirudh, for sending the copy of the original poster of Vidhaata, as my first film with Dilip Sahib, Sanjeev Kumar, Shammi Kapoor, and Padmini Kolhapure, and with my own star, Sanjay Dutt, was declared a super hit in 1982. So many stories. So many memories. I need to write a book."
