He is an ace director but unfortunately his last directorial venture ‘Yuvvraaj’ crashed badly at the box office, Subhash Ghai in now all set for his first production of the year ‘Paying Guest’, which he says is based on a humorous play that ran for two years in the US, Britain and the UAE.

The multi-starrer revolves around five close friends who stay together in Dubai and is set to hit screens next month.In a comedy film like this, you really need genuinely talented actors rather than only a star who has a sale value. So we decided on Shreyas (Talpade), Javed Jaffery, Ashish Chowdhary, Celina (Jaitley), Neha Dhupia and so on,’ he said.

Ghai, whose production house Mukta Arts Pvt Ltd has produced successful films like ‘Aitraaz’ and ‘Iqbal’ among others, says his banner believes in churning out films of all budgets and genres. Ghai has planned five more productions this year including ‘Right Yaa Wrong’, ‘Hello Darling’ and three new projects are to be launched soon.

Asked about the ongoing tussle between the producers and multiplexes over sharing of revenue, Ghai said the root of the problem is that both the sides are not considering the other’s grievances.
