One
of
Bollywood's
most
celebrated
filmmakers,
Subhash
Ghai
celebrates
his
74th
birthday
today.
Born
on
24th
January,
1945
in
Nagpur,
he
started
his
career
in
the
Hindi
film
industry
with
small
roles
in
films
including
Taqdeer
(1967)
and
Aradhana
(1971).
Ghai
even
played
the
leading
man
in
the
1970
film
Umang
which
was
followed
by
Gumraah
in
1976.
Subhash
Ghai
made
his
directorial
debut
with
Shatrughan
Sinha
starrer
Kalicharan
in
1976.
Not
many
know
that
Sinha
had
earlier
turned
down
the
film.
Recently
at
an
event
he
recalled,
"I
refused
doing
Kalicharan
when
I
first
heard
the
script,
but
later
agreed
to
do
it
because
of
my
friend
Subhash
Ghai
as
it
was
his
directorial
debut." The
film
turned
out
to
be
a
huge
hit.
Over
the
years
with
films
like
Meri
Jung,
Karz,
Vidhaata,
Hero,
Karma,
Khalnayak,
Ram
Lakhan,
Pardes,
Taal
amongst
others,
the
director
eventually
became
known
as
the
'Showman
of
Hindi
film
industry'.

Ghai's
