All stars don’t deliver blockbusters: Mahesh Bhatt
2 May 2013 5:37 AM IST
Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt says a film works at the box office only if a director is able to translate a writer’s vision on the screen. He feels stars can add to that.
‘We confuse ourselves by thinking that stars have the power to deliver blockbusters. No. If the story doesn’t work, if the director does not translate the vision that is embedded in the story with the adornments that the film needs, there are no chances of it coming anywhere close to success,’ said Bhatt, known for directing films like Arth, Saaransh, Zakhm and Naam, which were high on content.
Bhatt, known for launching new talent under his banner Vishesh Films, has this time roped in relative newcomers Aditya Roy Kapoor and Shraddha Kapoor for Aashiqui 2 directed by Mohit Suri.
