In a heartwarming turn of events, Mahesh Bhatt has showered praise on Anupam Kher’s directorial debut ‘Tanvi the Great’. The OTT film has struck a chord, but Bhatt’s endorsement carries extra weight given their stormy history.
The 1990s were marked by acrimony. ‘Saransh’, the very film that propelled Kher to stardom under Bhatt’s banner, became the flashpoint. Kher labeled Bhatt a cheat, vented in interviews, and was on the verge of quitting the industry. A last-minute return to the project calmed tempers temporarily, but barbs continued.
Fast forward to today: Bhatt’s glowing review on social media has Kher beaming. ‘Thank you immensely, sir. Your words inspire me to hold onto my principles and craft meaningful cinema,’ Kher posted on Instagram.
Their bond has visibly strengthened. Recent airport sightings of the pair together hint at genuine friendship. Kher reflects fondly on ‘Saransh’, thanking Bhatt for his unwavering support and entry into filmdom.
This reconciliation highlights Bollywood’s dynamic nature, where yesteryear conflicts fade into collaborative spirit. As ‘Tanvi the Great’ garners acclaim, it symbolizes Kher’s evolution as a filmmaker, blessed by an unlikely cheerleader from his past.
