. In Vishesh Films we don’t make big movies withbig stars but big ideas or concepts that work. We make films without big starsbut they become hits. Buying a star is more expensive than making one orcreating a new star. We are not just in the business of making movies but alsoin the business of making destinies. Our films are known to have great music,that too with new and upcoming music directors not the established ones. Musicalways been my passion. Some films of ours may not have done well commerciallybut have been super hits musically. We have a good ear for music and we putall our creative energies into working out good melodies with new musicaltalents."Bhatt adds that he and his brother Mahesh started withtheir first film together, Kabzaa in 1988 which went on to become a hit.“Later we made more hits like Naam, Aashiqui, Dil Hai Ki Maanta Nahi andSadak. Vishesh Films is the only company mentioned in Wall Street in while inIndia we have consistently stood tall for the last 11 years giving hits withoutworking with stars. We chose to not work with stars and that’s why we areable to produce more films in reasonable budgets which leaves the distributorshappy too.
Apart from making stars like Bipasha Basu. John Abraham, EmraanHashmi and Kangna Ranaut, we have introduced big directors of today like VikramBhatt, Anurag Basu, Mohit Suri and Kunal Deshmukh." For Bhatt,it’s a proud achievement that he, Mahesh and their father Nanabhai havebeen in filmmaking for over 80 years. “We are the oldest gharana in thefilm industry. Even the Kapoors (Prithviraj Kapoor, his sons Shammi, Raj andShashi and Raj’s sons Rishi, Randhir and Rajiv) came later. The three ofus have been making films for the last 80 years when my father made his firstfilm in 1928. My father made over 128 films, I produced more than 55 whileMahesh has directed more than 70. The day the passion dies out I will let my sonVishesh take over. We believe in creating a process of starting three movies ina row. There’s no finish line for us. After Murder 2 releases July 2 webegin shooting for our next film set in Belgium directed by debutant VishalMatkar.”
