Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who collaborated with Mukesh Bhatt's and Mahesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films for several projects, has now refused to comment on the professional split between his uncles. Vikram said that he has been instructed against it. He said that he has to listen to his ‘boss’ Mahesh.
"Whatever I have to say I will not say because my boss Mahesh Bhatt has asked me to not talk on this subject and I have to listen to him." Earlier this year, it was revealed that Mahesh relinquished his position as creative consultant of the family banner, Vishesh Films.
For the unversed, the news of Mahesh and his younger brother Mukesh going separate ways went viral in January 2021. While Mahesh kept mum about it, Mukesh had said, "Mahesh is not out of Vishesh Films per se. Please get this clear. The company Vishesh Films has been mine; my brother was a Creative Consultant on several projects even after he had stopped directing. If I have a film hereafter where I need him, he will be there for his creativity. We have had no fight, but he does not want to hold the position anymore. Sakshi and Vishesh (Mukesh's children) are going to take the Vishesh Films legacy forward. They have some brilliant ideas and I shall always be around to guide them with my experience. The time has come for my children to grow in the business of movie-making which we are very passionate about."
Later, their nephew Emraan Hashmi had talked about their split and said, "I have many fond memories of Vishesh Films. I just wish we all come back together to do a film. I don't know what the subject will be, though. But to answer your question, well, all good things come to an end. Equations change. Nothing is permanent. And I am saying this without knowing the details of what has played out between them."
