Not
many
are
aware
that
Subhash
Ghai
had
never
planned
to
direct
Black&White
himself.
"I
was
keen
to
produce
this
film,
but
was
on
the
lookout
for
the
director
who'd
do
complete
justice
to
it.
But
I
soon
realized
that
they
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
justice
to
the
subject
the
way
I
would.
That's
when
I
decided
to
take
the
responsibility
myself," the
Showman
reveals.
Ghai
is
all
praise
for
newcomer
Anurag
Sinha's
acting
prowess.
"I
wanted
a
new
face
to
carry
off
this
role
and
when
I
screen-tested
him
[he's
an
FTII
graduate],
I
knew
I
had
found
the
face
for
this
role.
When
I
launched
Jackie
[Shroff]
in
HERO,
I
had
a
tough
time
explaining
the
basics
of
acting
to
him.
But
it
was
easier
with
Anurag.
He
knew
what
the
role
was,
he
prepared
his
notes,
he
would
come
on
the
sets
completely
prepared.
He's
an
incredible
actor,
watch
out
for
him," Ghai
states.
Such
lavish
praises
from
none
other
than
Ghai
means
a
lot!
