Legendary Director Subhash Ghai opens up about why he stopped making films: 'I don't see love in the team...'

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently spoke candidly about his decision to stop making films during an interview with film critic and trade analyst Komal Nahta on his podcast Game Changers. Ghai, known for his iconic films like Karz, Ram Lakhan, and Taal, revealed that the lack of passion and love in the film industry played a crucial role in his decision.

When Nahta asked Ghai why he stopped making films, the director's response was rooted in disappointment with the way the industry had evolved. He explained, "It's just one thing, I don't see love among people, I don't see love in the team. I see everyone just working, poor things." He highlighted the growing commercialization of the industry, where creativity seems to be overshadowed by deadlines and deadlines alone.

Ghai recounted a specific incident where he was working with a writer on a project. He said, "I called a writer, told him a story, and asked him to write it. He says, 'Yes, I'll write it in 15 days, give the second draft in 3 days, then this and that.' He gave me all the dates and installments, 'Your story will be ready in the many days.'" Ghai humorously added, "I said, 'Are you making rotis or what?' because he gave me the whole thing with dates and installments."
