The extraordinary journey of one of Indian cinema’s most definitive filmmakers is all set to be chronicled on the big screen as Epic Studios and Mukta Arts have officially announced a strategic partnership to produce a feature-length documentary on the legendary Subhash Ghai. Famously celebrated as the Showman of Bollywood, Ghai has shaped the childhood and cinematic sensibilities of generations with massive blockbusters like Karz, Hero, Ram Lakhan, Khalnayak, Saudagar, and Taal. The upcoming non-fiction project will be directed by acclaimed filmmaker Raghav Khanna, who previously earned appreciation for his work as the production executive on the popular documentary Yo Yo Honey Singh: Famous. This highly anticipated project aims to move past standard biographical formats to offer an immersive, experiential look into how Subhash Ghai fundamentally transformed the sheer scale, musical grammar, and creative swagger of commercial Hindi cinema during its golden era.

Reflecting on his deep vision for the project, director Raghav Khanna expressed immense excitement about transitioning his childhood memories of watching Ghai’s grand spectacles into a long-form narrative. He emphasized that this script is more than a biopic because it actually functions as a literal time machine that transports the audience back into a generation of youth and a society undergoing massive cultural shifts. Khanna pointed out that the documentary will not merely rely on standard personal timelines or archived footage, but will actively delve into the technical evolution of the Indian film industry. By featuring exclusive, insightful interviews with iconic cinematographers, composers, and editors who collaborated closely with the maestro, the film will dissect how Ghai raised the bar for production ambitions and technical storytelling in an analogue world, now resurrected with a sleek and contemporary digital treatment.
