Pardes's set was awesome and SRK's pic with violin and while playing guitar during Do Dil song was outstanding ufffff memories of life time 💚👌🏻

[@sayanroy7640]

Golden interview. Real people, real directors, real actors, real fans talks about the creative aspect of the film, the appreciation received and its uniqueness. Only people who do not understand anything talk about the box-office and budget of the films - a thought process affecting the quality of Indian films made in last decade.

[@teenameena6790]

Hi this is Teena, this is a gem of an interview. He must be having so much power that he convinced SRK with two lines of narration. And it is one of my fav films , Pardes. V good interview. Also Rohit talks with lot of respect. So nice to see this, this is what's missing all around. Good job bollywood hungama

[@garydsouza5310]

Rohit this is superb interview. I hope young actors watch this and see how Dilip Kumar never watched his edit and trusted the filmmaker. v good interview really enjoyed. Mr Ghai is a legend of his times, that's why he made films like Pardes, Khalnayak, Karma, Karz etc. Also v good introduction about his experience.

[@afthabk6653]

Everything he said makes sense... bollywood remakes of south Indian films just prove Mr. Ghai's point. He should come back to directing films just to show that if directors get due respect quality of films would improve.

Mr.Subhash Ghai ! For U'r Kind Information, Pardes was A Blockbuster Not Bcoz You Casted NewComers Like Mahima-Chaudhary & Apoorva Agnihotri but Bcoz You Casted The Biggest Star Of the Country, SHAHRUKH-KHAN who was Already the Biggest Star Of the Country, The First Super-Star Of 90s ( Before Aamir-Khan & Salman-Khan ) The Whole Magic was Only Bcoz Of SHAHRUKHKHAN !!

Inspite of Subhash Ghai being no more involved with film making now actively, there is no denying that he has given lot of classic movies from early 80s to late 90s. As he rightly told that corporate culture and economic pressure has screwed creativity to a very large extent. Also the so called film directors have become mere puppets in the hands of film stars who ghost direct the film to save their own image. Best example being Amir Khan, Ajay Devgan, Akshay kumar...

[@amitshankar4161]

Rohit your positive attitude and you smiling is giving this interview a good tone. otherwise what is Ghai ji trying to say, with all due respect. Is he saying new actors should sign films by listening to two lines. Industry has moved ahead for good reasons. Ghai saab has made great films no doubt and there is so much to learn from the way they made movies 'in those days' today many more crores are at stake for films so studios will decide. Else there are many directors like sajid khan type who will blow your money. Good interview anyway, good to hear from him after many years. he is industrys icon from back in the days. no doubt.
