Subhash
Ghai
returns
to
direction
after
a
hiatus
of
five
years
with
this
ambitious
project.
Ghai
had
last
directed
the
Salman
Khan
and
Katrina
Kaif
starrer
Yuvvraaj.
Subhash
Ghai
has
been
a
wonderful
mentor
to
Kartik
who
plays
the
male
lead
in
Kaanchi.
Talking
about
his
shooting
experience,
the
actors
says,
"We
shot
in
Nainital
for
15-20
days
and
it
felt
like
a
picnic.
The
place
was
beautiful
and
we'd
end
up
partying
every
day.
But
we
also
worked
very
hard."
Elaborating
on
the
showman
of
Bollywood,
he
adds,
"Subhash
sir
is
very
clear
with
what
he
wants.
He
saw
to
it
that
we
completed
our
daily
schedule
on
time.
I
don't
know
how
he
managed
that.
This
was
my
first
experience
with
him
and
he's
happy
with
the
entire
cast.
He
has
so
much
passion
and
energy,
I
can't
imagine
myself
in
his
shoes
and
doing
what
he
does.
The
amount
of
effort
he's
put
into
Kaanchi,
he's
going
to
make
it
big
with
this
film."
