J.Om Prakash Birth Anniversary : A man of God, in the world of films, by chance?

He made some great films for more than forty years, but he was a man who went from materialistic to spiritual. He seemed like a misfit in the world of films, but he was completely and passionately in love and dedicated to making films that had meaning in addition to entertainment. They had some spiritual messages and some visuals and one or two songs that were either completely religious or partially religious in nature. His songs sung in honor of Maa Sherawali (Vaishno Devi) have become a part of religious practices followed regularly in holy places and homes. He was always someone who talked about God and religion more than talking about films and sometimes mixed the two in his regular conversation and behavior. In fact, when he retired from active filmmaking, So he was often found early in the morning on the sands of Juhu beach, preaching to a group of regular followers, who found his discourses more superior and better inclined towards God and the divine than the teachings of other gurus, seers and pundits. He remained a religious man until he fell seriously ill and was unable to do anything, but on the other hand, I could see how devoted he was to films when he was almost in a state of lethargy But he made it a point to accompany his son-in-law Rakesh Roshan to the office and sat in the office till he was taken home. He was very ill during the last few months of his life and finally passed away on the morning of 6 August. Another titan of the industry has fallen and gone, only to be remembered forever.

'Omji' went on to make some more extraordinary films like "Aandhi" for which he was humble enough to say that he couldn't direct himself and asked Gulzar to direct the film he had written the script for which was roughly But it was based on the life of former Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi. Which was made with Bengal's great actresses Suchitra Sen and Sanjeev Kumar. "Aandhi" turned into a storm with the censors, but like a good producer, 'Omji' its director, Gulzar stood by till "Aandhi" was out of the storm and now he is recognized as the best political figure in India. It is considered one of the Se-oriented films. He also did not foresee the possibility of a subject like "Bhagwan Dada" with Rajinikanth in the title role.

'Omji' was a filmmaker who had command over all the elements that go into producing a good film that was also successful and that is why most of his films were successful not only at the box office but also at the box office. Appreciated by all. He was a man who strongly believed in getting the industry the status of an industry and when he was the President of the Film Federation of India, he did his best for his goals. He was one of the most respected filmmakers in the industry and even among the powers that be in Delhi. But more than anything, he was a family man to the core. He encouraged Rakesh Roshan to become a producer first and then kept pushing him to take the reins as a director and Rakesh always considered him his mentor and their respect for each other was mutual. His office was in the same building in Santacruz and now his life was over in the commerce center in Oshiwara. Some of the leading filmmakers admired him as a man, a filmmaker and a leader.

The man who apart from being a man of God was also a man to produce films, who had so many men who were active all the time until they could not be active because the man himself was from the orbit of the living. had gone out and joined the supernatural force that had such a strong hold on him and his life. The famous song from the movie “Aap Ki Kasam” goes, ‘Zindagi ke safar mein jo guzar jaate hain makaam, woh phir nahi aate’, but Omji remains a makaam as long as his films live on and his son-in-law and grandson, Hrithik keep the values ​​alive.
