In Bollywood, ask anyone to name their favorite Bhatt classic and you’ll hear them say – “Why? All his autobiographical films of course, and *wink wink* Jennifer Lopez’s too. Get it? Bhatt-Butt?” If you can ignore the tasteless joke, you’ll realize it’s true.

Hop on a time machine, and you could watch Mahesh Bhatt’s past in Eastman Color and marvel at his phillum-like life (while you’re there tell me that Neelima is not interested in me). Which is why Bhatt-saab didn’t make just one, but three autobiographical movies. Except…he got drunk, a lot, while making them and left daughter Pooja Bhatt with a definitely weird childhood that has her speaking at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting years later about what it meant to have an alcoholic father around.

But Bhatt that she is, an emotional speech is but a trailer for what will follow.

In an interview to Go 92.5FM on Monday, Bhatt declared that Pooja has spoken to him about making a film on her life. Link

Awesome, another Bhatt-graphy!

But even the novice autobiographical-movie geek knows a story about the Bhatts would not be complete without the cousin brother’s perspective. Which is why Vikram Bhatt has also jumped into the fray. And Uncle approves.
