After actor Emraan Hashmi confirmed the split between filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt of Vishesh Films, now filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has also broken his silence on the issue, albeit without sharing any details.
The director told an Indian publication that he stayed away from commenting on the professional split between his uncles as he had been instructed against it. “Whatever I have to say I will not say because my boss Mahesh Bhatt has asked me to not talk on this subject and I have to listen to him,” he said.
Recently, Emraan Hashmi revealed that he had no idea what led the duo to split. He, however, confirmed being in touch with both of them. “All good things come to an end. Equations change. Nothing is permanent. And I am saying this without knowing the details of what has played out between them. As far as I am concerned, I still talk to both of them,” he told a publication.
Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt are the co-founders of Vishesh Films, one of the leading production houses in Bollywood. The duo has delivered a slew of blockbusters ever since laying the foundation of the banner in the year 1986. Some of their most successful films under the banner include Aashiqui (1990), Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi (1991), Sadak (1991), Dushman (1998), Ghulam (1998), Kasoor (2001), Raaz (2001), Murder (2004), Zeher (2005), and Aashiqui 2 (2013) to name a few.

R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
