Karan Johar not only graced the occasion but also paid homage to the profound influence Subhash Ghai has had on his cinematic journey. Johar highlighted the essential lessons and profound respect he acquired from Ghai, further revealing about his practice of standing up whenever the veteran director calls as a symbol of admiration and respect, mirroring the etiquette instilled by his father, Yash Johar. Acknowledging Ghai's directorial style, Johar revealed how a particular shot - one that gracefully pans in a circular motion - has been fondly termed the 'Subhash Ghai' shot, an artistic technique Johar learned from the venerable director.

 

The event also saw Shashank Khaitan, alumni of Whistling Woods International Film School, discussing about his cinematic journey and the lessons he has learnt over the years. Additionally, the event was graced by the OMG 2 team of Pankaj Tripathi, Amit Rai, and Ajit Pandhare.'

 

The vibrant interaction between Subhash Ghai, Karan Johar, Shashank Khaitan with the aspiring filmmakers at the event, orchestrated under the guidance of Meghna Ghai Puri, encapsulated the essence of passing down knowledge, inspiration, and creative fervor across the tapestry of generations.
