Veteran producer Mahesh Bhatt discusses his transition from directing films to mentoring emerging filmmakers during promotional activities for Tu Meri Poori Kahani. The accomplished creator explains how his passion for filmmaking diminished over time while his love for cinema remained strong. Bhatt recognized that his creative energy had waned after decades of successful productions across multiple genres. This realization prompted him to shift focus toward nurturing new talent within the industry. He believes supporting young filmmakers provides greater satisfaction than continuing his directing career.
The mentor emphasizes that effective guidance requires minimal interference in creative decisions. Bhatt allows protégés to experience failures and learn from mistakes rather than preventing errors through excessive oversight. His approach ensures that emerging directors develop authentic voices without displaying his influence on their work. The producer has successfully guided several notable filmmakers through this mentorship philosophy. Tu Meri Poori Kahani arrives in theaters September 26, 2025.
