Mahesh Bhatt says being closely exposed to death of a young man led to 'Saaransh'

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt revealed that his notable film Saaransh was inspired by a tragic event from his mentor UG Krishnamurti's family. This touching story marked a milestone as it became Rajshri Productions' first project approved without a formal script. Anupam Kher initially faced rejection for his pivotal role, while Bhatt's fascination with mortality deeply influenced the film's compelling themes.
