Mahesh Bhatt

Producer

Mahesh Bhatt, born on September 20, 1948, is an acclaimed Indian film director, producer, and screenwriter known for his contributions to Hindi cinema. One of his notable films from his early career is "Saaransh" (1984), which was screened at the 14th Moscow International Film Festival and served as India's official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in that year.

In 1986, Bhatt ventured into commercial cinema with the film "Naam." He subsequently turned producer in 1987 with the film "Kabzaa" under his banner "Vishesh Films," in collaboration with his brother Mukesh Bhatt.

Throughout the next decade, Bhatt emerged as one of the most recognized directors in the Indian film industry. He directed a diverse range of films, including critically acclaimed art-house works such as "Daddy" (1989) and "Swayam" (1991), as well as successful romantic hits like "Awaargi" (1990), "Aashiqui" (1990), and "Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin" (1991), which starred Pooja Bhatt and Aamir Khan. One of his highest-grossing films, directed or produced under Vishesh Films, is "Sadak" (1991).

During the 1990s, Bhatt received critical acclaim for films such as "Sir" (1993), "Gumraah" (1993), and "Criminal" (1994). He won the National Film Award - Special Jury Award for directing "Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke" (1993). In 1996, his film "Tamanna" received the National Film Award for Best Film on Other Social Issues. In 1999, he directed the autobiographical film "Zakhm," which won the Nargis Dutt Award for Best Feature Film on National Integration.

Apart from directing, Bhatt has also produced contemporary films such as "Jism," "Murder," and "Woh Lamhe." He co-owned Vishesh Films with his brother Mukesh Bhatt. However, due to differences between the brothers, Mukesh Bhatt took over Vishesh Films, and in May 2021, it was publicly announced that Mahesh Bhatt is no longer associated with the firm.
