Freeze Frame

It is a well-known fact that filmmaker Subhash Ghai and cinematographer Ashok Mehta had been good friends. They worked on a number of films together,such as Ram Lakhan,Saudagar,Khalnayak and Kisna. So Ghai holding a memorial event in Mehtas honour doesnt come as a surprise. The memorial event will be held at Ghais film and media institute,Whistling Woods International,on Monday,August 27. It will begin with the screening of audio visual on Mehtas life and his debut feature film Moksha. A discussion will then be held on the film and Mehta,which will be attended by Manisha Koirala and Arjun Rampal. There will also be an exhibition on display capturing Mehtas life and times in all its glory.
