Ghai has delivered some of the biggest musicals in the 90s. While hinting that the modern cinema lacks storytelling through music, he has promised to bring that back with the help of his production house. The filmmaker told Game Changers, "In our time, when we had even bigger musical hits, there was only one difference: I considered music as poetry. For me, Anand Bakshi was even greater than Laxmikant Pyarelal and Rahman. I used to write the spoken dialogue in the movie, and you [Anand Bakshi] were writing the singing dialogues. And when we wrote the 'antara' (stanza), it felt like he knew my story better than I did."

His production house has already declared that they are looking for writers who understand pan cinema worldwide. Yes, the filmmaker is not just limiting himself to pan-India but looking at pushing his cinema at a global scale.
