Mukesh Bhatt Defends Mahesh, Dismisses Vikram's Criticism

In a candid interview last month, producer Mukesh Bhatt opened up about his separation from his elder brother, acclaimed filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Mukesh expressed that he harbors no bitterness towards Mahesh, stating, "I don't know what he feels about me, but there is none from my side." He described Mahesh as "gullible" and claimed that "people had vested interests in how these brothers could be separated."

Addressing director Vikram Bhatt's allegations about Mukesh exploiting Mahesh, the 73-year-old producer emphasized, "Say what you want to say, I won't name anyone. Tell Vikram Bhatt to look within himself, listen to his own conscience. He will get the answer whether he's right or wrong." Mukesh went on to say that Mahesh is his "God" and "elder brother" whom he loves deeply and will always respect.
