Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai recently spoke candidly about his decision to stop making films during an interview with 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.
Subhash Ghai speaks on quitting filmmaking, points out lack of passion in the industry: “I don’t see love in the team. I see everyone just working”
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 these many days.'” Ghai humorously added, “I said, ‘Are you making rotis or what?’ because he gave me the whole thing with dates and installments.”
The filmmaker’s words shed light on his frustration with the mechanical and transactional nature of modern filmmaking. Ghai emphasized that for him, filmmaking is an art form driven by passion and love, elements he feels are increasingly missing in the industry’s fast-paced environment.
