Subhash Ghai says he enjoys producing films
Kuala Lumpur:
Subhash Ghai's film production company Mukta Arts will produce three movies next year, shared the filmmaker.
Mukta Arts produced its first film Karz, starring Rishi Kapoor, in 1978 and after that came out with string of movies, including Hero, Karma, Khalnayak, Pardes, Taal, Yaadein, Iqbal, Joggers' Park, and Aitraz. He has more to offer next year.
"Mukta Arts will produce three movies next year. I will produce and direct one movie. I enjoy being a producer. For directing movies, I take my own time. I can't make a fast movie. I am working on the projects. Themes are yet to be decided," Mr Ghai told reporters after he bagged the award for Outstanding Contribution to Indian Cinema at the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Weekend and Awards here on Sunday.
A special act by Shraddha Kapoor was also performed as a tribute to Mr Ghai and the filmmaker got emotional on stage.
"I am an emotional man. I didn't get emotional because I won an award. It was because I got nostalgic," he said.
"I think I am complete today. People still tell me that whenever my movies like Ram Lakhan and Karz are played on television, they watch it. I consider that as a compliment," said the educationist.
