Mahesh Bhatt insists he’s not making movies anymore because he’s busy making people. Over the past 25 years, he’s launched several new voices, faces, and talents. His latest find is filmmaker Suhrita Das, whose directorial debut Tu Meri Poori Kahani, releases in cinemas this Friday on September 26. Starring two newcomers — Arhaan Patel and Hirranya Ojha — it’s a romantic drama on the same lines as Bhatt’s other popular star launches like Aashiqui, Raaz, and Murder.

In an exclusive interview with SCREEN, the seasoned filmmaker discusses why he doesn’t direct anymore, warming up to the role of a mentor, his views on wife Soni Razdan’s volcanic talent, seeing actors he launched become sound filmmakers, and comparisons of his new production with nephew Mohit Suri’s blockbuster Saiyaara.
