Subhash Ghai, who has launched many new faces, will now be introducing Mishti in Kaanchi', which is slated to release on April 25. However, the director confesses that he was advised by his team to cast big names like Katrina Kaif or Priyanka Chopra instead for the title role.
He says, "During Kaanchi', they told me to sign Katrina Kaif because we (Mukta Arts) have a 3-film deal with her. But she is very busy now and has no time. Why should I even waste my time giving her a call when I know she has no dates? Then they said 'sign Priyanka', but I still refused as I wanted a new girl," he further adds.
Subhash Ghai was also stuck in a similar situation when his team wanted him to cast Madhuri instead of Mahima in Pardes'.
"When I was doing Pardes' with Mahima Choudhry, I remember my office colleagues telling me the film wouldn't do well. Distributors wouldn't succeed either, they told me. I asked was it important to make them happy or make my film run?" says Ghai, adding that the director's vision was most important.
Regarding plans to work with Katrina Kaif again after 'Yuvvraaj', he confirms, "I have got three scripts ready. I am planning to do one film with Katrina Kaif."
