Mahesh Bhatt “too controversial” for biopic?

Mahesh Bhatt is definitely a filmmaker who is not scared to voice his opinions. However, when asked whether a biopic should be made on his life, he deemed himself “too controversial”.

He told Hindustan Times, “I don�۪t think a biopic should be made. Pooja wants to do it though, and I have been dissuading her. If she does end up making one, it will be a biopic on her ��� of a daughter looking at her father�۪s journey. You can�۪t make a biopic on a person who doesn�۪t want it to be made. My life is too controversial, too subversive, too stark; the world can�۪t deal with it (laughs)”.

He further added, “The movie will be blasphemous. It will never see the light of the day. My ideas, not just in the realm of relationships, but with regards to everything, including God, religion, government and people is��_ If you get a peep into my head, you would lock me up in a mental asylum. You would call me a psychopath. People won�۪t be able to deal with my thoughts and views”.

Bhatt also confirmed that his new TV show is not about his life, “My life is the bedrock on which my show is being made, but it is not autobiographical. Some colours of my life do reflect in my films. My life is the raw material from which I draw inspiration”.
