No Phone? Actor's Clever Trick Got Mahesh Bhatt's Call
26 Aug
Summary
- Actor Mushtaq Khan lacked a phone, relying on a grocer for messages.
- A crucial call from Mahesh Bhatt took 15 days to reach the actor.
- This delayed communication led to Khan's first film role with Bhatt.
Actor Mushtaq Khan has shared an interesting anecdote from the early stages of his career, detailing his unique method of receiving calls before he owned a phone.
Initially recommended for a role in Mahesh Bhatt's 1986 film Naam by Salim Khan, Mushtaq Khan struggled to connect with the filmmaker. He resorted to paying a nearby grocer one rupee per message to check for any missed calls, a process that spanned 15 days before Bhatt's call finally arrived.
This eventually led to Mushtaq Khan securing his first film with Mahesh Bhatt, the 1988 action-crime drama Kabzaa. He later received a more substantial role in Bhatt's telefilm Swayam, and continued to collaborate on projects like Sadak and Sir.
