Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai hospitalized for routine check-up, discusses docu-drama Gandhi: A Perspective at IFFI 2024.
Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai has been admitted to Mumbai’s Lilavati Hospital. According to a source close to his family, the Taal director was taken to the hospital for a “routine check-up” and is “doing well.”
“Nothing to worry about. We do this every year as it’s important to do all checkups. Due to his busy schedule, we get him hospitalised so the doctors can conduct all tests properly. He is absolutely fine,” the source told ANI.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Subhash Ghai recently attended the 55th edition of the International Film Festival of India (IFFI). During a conversation with ANI, he discussed his docu-drama Gandhi: A Perspective and his book Karma’s Child, which chronicles his journey as a filmmaker.
He shared, “I am happy that in IFFI 2024, Gandhi: A Perspective, which is my film of 30 minutes, received a lot of praise. We call it a docu-drama. It was screened, and people praised it a lot. I made it as a responsible citizen, not just as a filmmaker. It is not commercial cinema. Everyone says that this film should be seen by every child and should be shown in every school and college.”
“There are questions raised about Gandhi among the youth. They wonder why this happened. That is why I wrote such a story and made such a film. Gandhi is still relevant today, and his thoughts, values, and principles are timeless,” Ghai added at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
The ace director is renowned for creating iconic films such as Kalicharan, Vidhaata, Hero, Karma, Ram Lakhan, Saudagar, Khal Nayak, and Taal.
