While Mahesh Bhatt, with typical insouciance, dismisses the unsavoury rumours and confirms their new collaboration is titled “Invisible”, a source close to the project sniggers, “We really don’t who stands to gain from these reports about Emraan being ‘miffed’ with Bhatt sahab because of announcements suggesting the star is doing another film with the Bhatts.”

“Emraan shares the kind of rapport with Mahesh Bhatt where Bhatt sahab only has to ask, and Emraan would do the film. But the Bhatts have never believed in mixing professional and personal relations. If they did, they would’ve launched Bhatt sahab’s son Rahul long ago. Every actor who works with Vishesh Films is free to choose the projects he or she wants. And that goes for Emraan as well,” the source added.

Confirming that the project with his nephew Emraan is titled “Invisible”, Mahesh Bhatt said: “Emraan is in New York. I spoke to him just an hour ago and he ceartinly didn’t sound even remotely miffed. Our relationship is not built on quicksand.”

About “Invisible”, the filmmaker said: “Emraan is starring in our next mega-project entitled ‘Invisible’, which Vikram Bhatt will direct. It’s an original story written by Shagufta Rafique and Vikram Bhatt.”

Vikram, who is unwell, said: ” ‘Invisible’ would be an entirely new optical and emotional experience for the audience.”

Kashyap, 40, had given up on becoming part of Bollywood and decided to quit, but Bhatt gave him Rs.10,000 for his expenses and encouraged him to continue his work.

“It was director Mahesh Bhatt who dragged me back in the film industry when I had given up on everything and left. Even after coming back, I worked for six months and tried to quit,” said Kashyap whose “Friday” got him recognition as a director.

“Despite all this, when I was leaving, Mahesh Bhatt stopped me from going. I didn’t have money and he gave me Rs.10,000 for my expenses. I had a lot of self-respect and ego, but no money. All this was before the success of the film ‘Satya’,” added the filmmaker who co-scripted “Satya”.

The filmmaker will be seen sharing much more about his experiences in the film industry on UTV Stars’ show “Ye Hai Meri Kahaani”.

The show will be aired May 12.

“We confuse ourselves by thinking that stars have the power to deliver blockbusters. No. If the story doesn’t work, if the director does not translate the vision that is embedded in the story with the adornments that the film needs, there are no chances of it coming to anywhere close to success,” said Bhatt, known for directing films like “Arth”, “Saaransh”, “Zakhm” and “Naam”, which were high on content.

Bhatt, known for launching new talent under his banner Vishesh Films, has this time roped in relative newcomers Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor for “Aashiqui 2″.

Directed by Mohit Suri, the Rs.12 crore romantic-musical saga grossed over Rs.20 crore during its opening weekend.

The filmmaker, who was speaking at the success party of “Aashiqui 2″ here Tuesday, gives credit to writer Shagufta Rafique and the entire team for the success.

“What made the film work was the magic that came out from Shagufta’s heart. Shagufta has a very unusual background. She is the salt of the earth and pulled the narrative from her heart,” the 65-year-old said.

“The way she narrated the story to us, we knew it had the throb and love of life,” added Bhatt who has also produced films like of “Gangster – A Love Story”, “Murder” and “Woh Lamhe”.

“So first it was there, pulled out of the heart, then Mohit came and added a dimension to it, gave it a soul with the music and the singers, and actors gave life to it,” he added.
