The Showman of Bollywood: Subhash Ghai

The 80s and 90s were the time of some epic films in Bollywood. Some of the films that come to mind are the films of Subhash Ghai such as Hero, Karma, Meri Jung, Khalnayak and Taal. Even today, we flip a channel and there is a Subhash Ghai movie running on one channel or the other.

All his films had a clearly defined and easy to follow narrative that was a hit with the masses and the classes. The characters were etched properly and left a mark and the songs were melodious and catchy.

Subhash Ghai was called the showman because of the beauty that he portrayed on screen with each moment. The lighting, composition, and acting were all pitch perfect. He has been a champion of commercial cinema and has been successful in satisfying everyone, whether it is a truck driver or a diamond merchant.  An important aspect of his filmmaking is that his films are relevant even today. Many of the characters in his movies are still remembered by the masses and are cited as big influences by the current crop of actors and students of cinema.

Subhash Ghai’s upcoming film Kaanchi will release on the 6^th of December and we all hope to see Ghai’s magic once again on the big screen.

Kartik Tiwari, "Kaanchi is Subhash Ghai's comeback"

After Akaash Vani, actor Kartik Tiwari will be seen in Subhash Ghai's upcoming release Kaanchi.

Kartik is two films old and a call from a veteran like Subhash Ghai came as a pleasant surprise for him. "After Akaash Vani, I did not expect to have a film, that too from Subhash Ghai. So when Mukta Arts called me, I was very obliged. When I met Subhash ji for the first time, I was really happy. It's a dream come true as I'm learning a lot. I expect things to change for me with this film", says Kartik.

Although Subhash Ghai's last few films have not worked at the box office, Kartik is not bothered by this. "Subhash ji is legendary and given 11 hits in a row. So if a few of his films did not work, it doesn't matter. Hits and flops don't count. No one will ask why I'm working with him. In fact, everybody in the industry is asking who Subhash Ghai has cast in his films. I and my co actor Mishti (who makes her debut with this film) have become talking points. Kaanchi's a musical thriller and the USP is that it's Subhash ji's comeback film. Kaanchi's got a lot of action, scenes and story. It's very real".

Oh no!

While shooting for a particular scene with Rishi Kapoor, I had to sprinkle water on his face. But, knowing that Rishi ji is such a Big Star I was nervous to do so.

We had to do a couple of retakes but Rishi Ji took it sportingly and smiled and made me comfortable. It was a relief and a pleasure to work with him!

Had to take 37 retakes to get the perfect shot!

Kartik Tiwari and I had to go undergo 37 grueling retakes to get the perfect kissing scene and convince Subhash Ji.

It's my first movie and the idea of kissing the co-star was something me and Kartik Tiwari were both hesitant to do. After first 20 retakes I thought we will never be able to do it! But finally at 37th retake it was done and Subhash Ji was happy with how convincing it looked :)

At present, Kaanchi's Team is shooting in the picturesque location of Ranikhet. I am very much enjoying my shooting schedule in Uttaranchal and hope to explore more of it.

Not only this, here's an exclusive image from the sets of Kaanchi in Uttaranchal. Hope you guys like it! :)

Thank you for all your support till date and will keep you updated.
