While speaking to ANI, the filmmaker defended Mahesh Bhatt’s silence during his jail term and shared, "There are no issues at all. It was only yesterday that he sent me a message to congratulate me. I believe that he didn't give a statement and remained silent as he did not want to exaggerate or provoke the matter. If he had said something, people would get angrier, and it would cause me more pain.”
