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.
