Mahesh Bhatt: Cinema is getting more and more eroticised!

Bollywood director-turned-producer Mahesh Bhatt is best known for his erotic films these days but it was not always like this. Bhatt directed films till 1998 and at that time he provided mega hits like ‘Manzilien Aur Bhi Hain’, ‘Arth’, ‘Naam’, ‘Aashiqui’, ‘Zakhm’, ‘Daddy’ and ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahi’.

However, after becoming a producer, the 63-year-old started making erotic films like ‘Kasoor’, ‘Jism’, ‘Murder’, and ‘Jism 2’ etc.

Mahesh Bhatt recently had an exclusive interview with IBNLive.com, in which he explained the reason why he started making erotic films.

Bhatt believes people now want a change and to bring erotica in the movies also pays a lot.

He told IBNLive.com, “Cinema is getting more and more eroticised, not only in India but all over the world. With the advent of time, I changed my style of making films when I produce them, not direct them. ‘Zakhm’ was my last directorial venture in 1998. Realising that every filmmaker has his tomb where he blooms, spreads his fragrance, withers and dies.”

He added, “I did it and now I am doing what is the most fulfilling part of my life which is catching younger people, giving them a platform and making them touch their own depths. It benefits me because this helps my company.”

While speaking on his inclusion, the producer insisted no one now wants to watch test cricket except old people and same goes with the films.

He said, “Old men can sit and say that test cricket is the purest form of cricket, good luck to you; the younger people don’t want it , so we cater to those taste-buds, and within that parameter we are trying to do what is meaningful and yes delivering number is be all and end all of everyone.”

Well, all said and done, Mahesh Bhatt’s latest film ‘Raaz 3’, which featured Emraan Hashmi, Bipasha Basu and Esha Gupta in the lead roles, has done pretty well at the box office but let’s see what new he brings this time for his audiences.
