Ghai expressed on the photo-sharing platform, "HOW CAN I FORGET 24 October 1978 - the Mahurat day of my KARZ when I launched my first film production company, with the blessings of my first producer N N SIPPY from Kalicharan, my first distributor GULSHAN RAI, and my first friend, hero SHATRUGHAN SINHA from my two hit films Kalicharan and Vishwanath, alongside my current stars RISHI KAPOOR, TINA MUNIM, SIMI GAREWAL, and co-producer Jagjit Khorana."
He continued, "Who could have imagined KARZ would evolve into a cult classic, celebrating its 45 years now at RED LORRY FILM FESTIVAL on 21 March at 11:30 am at PVR BKC BANDRA. It will be delightful to engage with the audience.... I feel blessed."
Ghai also shared a nostalgic image of the film's cast and crew, likely taken on the first shooting day, featuring Rishi Kapoor, Simi Garewal, Tina Munim (now Tine Ambani), and Shatrughan Sinha.
The storyline of Karz revolves around Ravi, who is murdered by his wife shortly after their marriage. He is reincarnated as a famous singer, Monty. During a trip to Ooty, he begins to recover memories from his past life and seeks information about his former family and his treacherous wife, Kamini.
Produced in collaboration with Akhtar Farooqui and Jagjit Khurana, the film features music by Laxmikant–Pyarelal. The unforgettable tracks from this film, such as 'Om Shanti Om' and 'Dard-E-Dil', continue to resonate with music enthusiasts.
Furthermore, The Red Lorry Film Festival will pay homage to Ghai through a special segment named Legacy Rewind. This section will celebrate Ghai's extraordinary contributions to Indian cinema, highlighting his influential body of work and enduring legacy within the industry.
