On the villain People said I am promoting terrorism: Subhash Ghai

There is a sense of professional rivalry in the creative field: Subhash Ghai
Dainik Bhaskar asked the director that the film Khalnayaka was also to be released on the day of the release of ‘Khalnayak’, so did you ever feel that sometimes people from the industry do not support your films? On this question, Subhash Ghai told that an important point in the creative field is the feeling of jealousy, which is also known as professional rival. We meet each other very lovingly.
But everyone wants our rival’s film to run but our film should run more. This thing is in everyone’s mind, it is also in my mind. Whenever someone did a great job, I would also feel jealous, I would think that I too could have done this job better.
The film Karz did not run even after two weeks of release
Talking about market pressure and ideas related to filmmaking, the director said – Market pressure has always been there. Then whether talking about the past or now. He told about the 1980 film Karz that the film did not run for two weeks after its release. Because of this there was a lot of pressure on him.
