Birthday Special: MUKESH BHATT NE MAHESH BHATT KI ZINDAGI KAISE BADAL DI THI ..... BY ALI PETER JOHN

Mahesh Bhatt was an assistant director of Raj Khosla who was bright enough to branch out as a director on his own and had directed meaningful films like " Manzilein Aur Bhi Hai " , Vishwasghaat , Arth ,and Saaransh . He had won critical acclaim , but had not made any money - Ali Peter John

Mukesh, his younger brother started as a secretary or manager to actors like Vinod Khanna, Smita Patil, and Deepti Naval and some character artists and had the knack of making friends with one and all in the business of filmmaking .

It was during the many meetings that Mukesh met the young music tycoon ( some called him a music pirate and music peddler) Gulshan Kumar who had established his brand Super Cassettes and wanted to branch out into filmmaking .
Gulshan called Mukesh for a meeting in his small office on 10th Road in Juhu and gave him an offer .

Gulshan had a "music bank " in which he deposited the lyrics and songs of lyricists , composers, and singers among the composers was Nadeem - Shravan, and among the lyricists was Sameer.

Gulshan told Mukesh to take ten songs from his bank composed by Nadeem - Shravan and written by Sameer and asked Mukesh to request Mahesh to write a love story around those ten songs and make a film.

Mukesh knew that his headstrong brother Mahesh would not even listen to the Idea. But he decided to give the Idea a try

The next morning Mukesh told Mahesh about the deal and asked him how long he would live only on critical acclaim and told him how ten lakhs was a very big amount and ten lakhs were what Gulshan was willing to pay him to direct a film any way he wanted, but with his ten songs intact.

Mahesh gave the Idea a great deal of thought and finally agreed to make the film as Gulshan Kumar wanted . The result was Aashiqi with two newcomers Rahul Roy and Annu Agarwal .

The film was a rage all over . Rahul and Annu were stars and Nadeem - Shravan and Sameer won all the awards in the country .

Mukesh Bhatt become the business guru of Mahesh Bhatt and the production company the brothers formed was known as Vishesh Films, named after the son of Mukesh Bhatt. Mukesh even became a respected leader in the industry and Mahesh listened to all his advice and opinions ....

Till 2021 when something is said to have gone wrong between the Bhatt brothers and the two who couldn't function without each other had decided to go their own ways.
