Mahesh Bhatt Says That He Wants To Reveal His Life’s Truth In A Book

Writer-filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt says he wants to reveal the truth about his life in a book. Bhatt attended launch of Aritra Chakrabarty Sengupta’s novel “Introspection” along with Dino Morea on Monday here.

Asked if he is planning to write an autobiography, Bhatt said, “Whatever work I did was inspired from my personal life. I made movies based on my life. I feel first you have to write it, and then films are being made. Definitely, I would like to reveal truth about my life in a book form..”

Bhatt, known for movies like Zakhm and Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, said he is already working on a book with a writer who has been “intensely involved in the process to present my life journey in a book form”.

The veteran filmmaker said there’s a need in present times to encourage young writers.

“Today there’s an opportunity to support young writers’ efforts because only a writer can understand how difficult it is to write, especially in times when you do messaging on WhatsApp and don’t use pen and paper.”
