To this, Subhash said that direction and script writing is an art which cannot be taught as it requires a person’s vision for execution. “Learning acting and other things is a craft while learning direction is about one’s growth. Direction and writing are two things which are associated with one’s life. We made films based on our lives, our roots, the society from where we came from and its struggles. We directed the film from the learnings of our experience. No director has got a break before 8-10 years. It is because as a director you need to first understand your vision and narrative.” Subhash continued, “So if you see, writers and directors are the architects while others are craftsmen. It’s not a technical craft, it’s a creative craft.” ‘Aitraaz 2’: Subhash Ghai Announces Sequel After 20 Years, Praises Priyanka Chopra’s Iconic Performance (View Post).
