Bhatt wants to win Pakistanis’ hearts
Posted on May 20, 2008 in Entertainment by Fareeha
Critics didn’t much like Jannat. They found it a fizzless unconvincing story. However Bhatt seems to still go ga ga over Jannat. He compares Jannat with his Naam and says it will do the same for Emran Hashmi as Naam did to Sanjay Dutt.
Apart from that Mahesh Bhatt’s Jannat was premiered in Lahore and he says the response was ‘overwhelming’. He is keen on working together with the Pakistani film industry. He says,
“With Indian films being released in Pakistan, the local industry, which is taking its last gasp, is feeling naturally threatened. We have to behave more responsibly and should not (not) have an imperialistic attitude. Apart from benefiting us, the exchange of films should help Pakistani industry also. Our aim should be to win the hearts of ordinary Pakistanis.”
He is about to start a movie with the Pakistani film industry and refusing to divulge any more information about his forthcoming film he said that 60% of the films technicians would be Pakistanis.
And we wonder why doesn’t Mahesh Bhatt contribute in India’s foreign policy towards Pakistan.
