Filmmaker Subhash Ghai will be conferred with lifetime achievement award at the 16th IIFA awards to be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in June 2015.

Sabbas Joseph, director, Wizcraft International Entertainment said,"Subhashji will be conferred with the lifetime achievement honour for his outstanding contribution to Indian cinema." 

He further added, "Lifetime achievement... sometimes for many people, it signifies the end of a person's career whereas we have people who continue to contribute in a large way. That’s why 'outstanding contribution' seems more appropriate."

His last directorial debut was 'Kaanchi: The Unbreakable' in 2014 and currently he is co-producing the remake of his film 'Hero'.
