"I wish someone remakes all my films"- Subhash Ghai
Q:
What
is
"Black
and
White" all
about?
A:
"Black
and
White"
is
the
story
of
love
and
hatred.
While
black
represents
hatred,
white
is
for
love.
I
have
tried
to
show
the
shades
of
love
and
hatred
between
Hindus
and
Muslims
based
on
the
concept
of
these
two
colors.
Q:
Is
it
true
that
the
story
of
the
film
has
a
backdrop
of
terrorism?
There
are
many
films
based
on
the
same
subject.
So,
why
make
another
film
on
this
oft-repeated
subject?
A:
Well,
you
can
say
that
terrorism
forms
the
backdrop.
As
far
as
the
question
of
many
films
having
been
made
on
the
same
subject
is
concerned,
I
can
give
you
some
examples.
Aamir
Khan
recently
made
"Taare
Zameen
Par"
which
is
based
on
children.
If
anyone
makes
another
film
on
children
then
would
you
say
there's
nothing
new
in
that!
As
there
are
many
subjects
related
to
children
there
are
many
fields
related
to
our
society
too.
I
just
have
tried
to
touch
those
issues
through
my
film.
Q:
Do
you
think
that
the
audiences
will
appreciate
your
approach?
A:
I
won't
call
it
my
approach,
it's
my
thought.
Whatever
I
have
done
is
based
on
my
thoughts
and
the
acceptance
of
the
thought
is
absolutely
on
the
audience.
Q:
Don't
you
think
it's
yet
another
film
based
on
the
Hindu-Muslim
issue?
A:
It's
not
based
on
the
Hindu-Muslim
issue,
but
it's
a
sensitive
movie
with
social
issues.
What
is
Hindustan?
I
think
Hindustan
is
a
rainbow
comprising
of
all
the
colors.
Q:
It's
a
very
tough
a
job
to
make
films
on
a
small
scale.
How
tough
was
it
for
you?
A:
Yeah,
it's
very
tough
to
make
films
on
a
small
scale.
But
I
faced
very
little
problem
in
making
this
film.
It's
only
because
the
subject
of
the
film
was
very
simple.
Most
of
the
shooting
was
done
at
the
Chandni
Chawk
area
in
Delhi.
Thus,
the
budget
of
the
film
was
very
low.
Q:
What's
the
reason
behind
keeping
the
directorial
baton
away
from
you
for
almost
four
years
now?
A:
(Smiling)
Everyone
is
asking
me
the
same
question.
What
if
I
was
not
directing
movies,
I
was
busy
in
many
other
meaningful
jobs.
I
started
my
institute
'Whistling
Woods
International"
in
those
four
years.
Students
are
learning
the
nitty-gritties
of
the
film
making
at
the
institute.
That
job
is
equal
to
making
ten
films
together.
But,
yeah,
I
have
fulfilled
my
dreams
now.
And
I
am
back
to
filmmaking.
I
promise
you
I
will
make
one
film
a
year.
Q:
Now-a-days
there
are
lots
of
changes
in
filmmaking.
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
this?
A:
If
our
lives
are
changeable
then
why
not
films?
Since
our
birth
if
we
have
changed
a
lot
then
what's
wrong
with
changes
in
filmmaking?
It's
the
result
of
this
transformation
that
I
am
working
as
a
filmmaker
and
you
as
a
reporter.
Q:
You
go
for
very
versatile
subjects
in
your
films.
How
do
you
deal
with
them?
A:
It's
very
easy
for
me.
My
daughter
is
five
years
old
now
and
in
the
same
house
I
have
my
father
who
is
now
80.
I
talk
to
both
of
them
and
that
too
in
their
own
ways.
Films
are
also
something
like
that.
Q:
Your
film
"Karz"
is
now
being
remade
by
another
director.
What
would
you
like
to
say
about
this?
A:
I
wish
that
all
my
films
are
remade.
I
think
remaking
my
films
means
honoring
my
films.
Twenty
years
down
the
line
I
would
like
to
see
someone
remaking
my
film
"Black
and
White".
I
am
happy
that
Shahrukh's
'Om
Shanti
Om"
is
last
year's
best
commercially
hit
movie
and
the
name
of
the
movie
is
based
on
a
song
from
my
film.
Q:
Your
last
film
"Bombay
to
Bangkok"
didn't
do
well.
What
do
you
think
is
the
reason
behind
that?
A:
Look,
it
has
always
been
a
habit
of
mine
that
I
never
watch
any
movie
after
it
is
released.
And
it
is
a
fact
that
I
have
never
seen
any
of
my
movies
after
their
release.
A
director's
work
never
gets
lessened
with
a
movie
being
a
hit
or
a
flop.
When
Naagesh
came
to
me
with
the
story
of
"Iqbaal"
I
readily
accepted
it
and
even
allowed
him
to
direct
the
movie.
In
the
same
way
he
worked
hard
for
"Bombay
to
Bangkok"
too.
May
be
the
audience
didn't
like
it.
But
I
cannot
tell
you
the
reason
for
the
film
not
doing
well
in
the
market,
as
I
didn't
watch
it.
Q:
Please
tell
us
about
your
next
film
"Mein
Yuvraaj".
A:
"Mein
Yuvraaj"
is
a
romantic
film
in
which
Salman
Khan,
Katrina
Kaif
and
Zaid
Khan
will
work
together.
I
am
still
shooting
for
that
film
and
I
hope
to
complete
it
by
the
end
of
April.
I
expect
to
release
the
film
on
the
occasion
of
Diwaali
so
that
people
may
enjoy
it
at
the
best.
