Mumbai, Sep 28 (NationPress) Renowned filmmaker and producer Subhash Ghai, celebrated for classics like ‘Karz’, ‘Hero’, ‘Taal’, and ‘Ram Lakhan’, has expressed concerns about the challenges of mentoring young talents today. He believes that the current generation is overly focused on social media validation and often prioritizes publicity over genuine learning.

On Sunday, Ghai shared a picturesque image from his balcony featuring various plants on Instagram, accompanied by a thoughtful message. He emphasized the responsibility of seasoned professionals to guide emerging talents, yet acknowledged that the mindset of these young individuals often obstructs the transfer of valuable knowledge.

He noted, “It is indeed the responsibility of senior experts to assist and mentor young professionals who seek guidance. However, it has become quite daunting to engage with newcomers who seem more interested in making headlines on social media, regardless of the accuracy of their statements. As I often say, God bless them. Mutual respect is paramount for building respectful careers (sic).”

Previously, Ghai hosted an enjoyable evening with friends discussing the evolving dynamics of filmmaking in Hindi cinema. He shared a group photo on Instagram, featuring director Mohit Suri, dialogue writer Rohan Shankar, actor Shaad Randhawa, and film trade analyst Komal Nahta.

The evening's theme revolved around the idea of audiences moving away from expensive stars and empowering directors to create the films they envision.

In his caption, he remarked, “There’s nothing quite like a lively round-table discussion at home over drinks, filled with laughter and open dialogue about today's filmmaking. The theme was clear: audiences are saying goodbye to pricey stars and advocating for directors’ creative freedom. An informal gathering of friends transformed into a masterclass, enriched by insights from Komal Nahta, Mohit Suri, Rohan Shankar, and my team. It was indeed a delightful evening. Thank you.”
