Veteran
film-maker
Subhash
Ghai
has
always
shown
interest
in
new-comers
and
have
groomed
them
into
becoming
the
superstars
of
tomorrow.
Right
from
his
early
direction
days,
the
'showman'
has
found
newcomers
with
talents
and
have
given
them
their
deserving
position.
In
the
process,
Ghai
has
also
ignored
the
so
called
'star
system'
of
Bollywood.
In a recent interview Ghai said "In my career, I've groomed actors into stardom only for one reason - I never wanted to work with superstars. I wanted to create them because then they respect you and look up to you," said this director. Ghai feels that once actors consider themselves to be 'super-star', they are no longer good for his relaxation, peace of mind and creative space.
Ghai also said, "'Superstars' have these wrong notions that films run only because of them." Also, the stars are always politically correct when they say that a good script is essential, et al, but deep inside all they want are directors, who worship them and not the ones who work on their own terms and conditions."
Subhash Ghai is the man behind the making of Jackie Shroff, Mahima Choudhary, Manisha Koirala, Apoorva Agnihotri, Isha Shervani, and now the Thai actress Lina Christianson. He has also given breaks to actors like Madhuri Dixit, Shatrughan Sinha, Meenakshi Sheshadri and Sanjay Dutt during their struggling period.
There were many rumors of Ghai not having a good rapport with many of the actors he has worked with. He nullified all such rumors calling them 'tabloid news'.
Lastly all that Ghai had to say was "A director is the chief of the unit and shouldn't be intimidated by the stars only because 'Filmfare' has given them a few awards."
