Subhash Ghai on Komal Nahta's Game Changers Podcast Shared His Experience Directing Stars like Sanjay Dutt & Madhuri Dixit, says,"I Didn't Make Them Stars, Destiny Did"

MUMBAI: In a revealing conversation with film critic and trade analyst Komal Nahta on his podcast Game Changers, filmmaker Subhash Ghai shared insights into his unique approach to working with some of Bollywood’s biggest stars, including Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit, and Meenakshi Seshadri. Ghai, known for launching and shaping the careers of several iconic actors, humbly attributed their success to fate rather than his efforts alone.

When Nahta asked about his process of transforming these actors into stars, Ghai responded with characteristic humility, "I didn’t make them stars, their destiny did. Destiny brought us together, and I found them good, honest, like students, eager to learn. They didn’t seem fake, artificial, or cosmetic. That’s why I asked them to work together, whether it was Jackie, Madhuri, Anil, Sanju, whoever."

Ghai emphasized that his approach was rooted in an actor’s willingness to grow and learn. For Ghai, the key factor in choosing actors was their authenticity and their hunger to improve, not just their talent. "For me, the most important thing is that a person who wants to learn and has the desire to do something, you can nurture their talent as a director," he added.
