Would love to make Subhash Ghai s biopic, says Shashank Khaitan

Mumbai March 10 (IANS) Filmmaker Shashank Khaitan who shot to fame with his debut film Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania said he would love to make a biopic on Showman of Bollywood Subhash Ghai.

Asked if he ever wants to make a biopic on veteran director Subhash Ghai in an exclusive interview with the director himself Shashank said: Why not! Subhash sir s life is full of stories and experiences. I am sure the day we will sit for a biopic a lot of interesting things will come out.

I hope that someday I reach a level to justify his biopic. I feel I am still at a learning stage and to tell his story you need to have that similar kind of experience Shashank who was also one of the early alumni of Ghai s Whistling Wood Institute added.

Asked about his choice of actor to portray the Karz helmer Shashank said: No one. Subhashji can portray himself with prosthetics.

Subhash who took a hiatus after his last directorial Kaanchi: The Unbreakable in 2014 was asked when he will be donning his director s hat again.

I am happy to sit on the couch and give my blessings to the young filmmakers. They are doing a fantastic job. I have done my work now it s my duty to create good filmmakers for the next generation. It is their time he replied.

Shashank s latest directorial venture Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya starring Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in lead roles released in theatres this Friday.
