'I do believe that there is a film left in my dad and that is A Taste of Life'

Pooja Bhatt spoke about her father's new avatar, and her upcoming film, Kajraa Re, starring Himesh Reshammiya.

What do you think of your father's book?

I didn't know Mahesh Bhatt had this side to him. With this book, he has done exactly what UG didn't want him to do -- made him [UG] God.

Can we expect a film inspired by this book?

He is not interested in making a film on it. He made it very clear in 1999, when he hung his boots after Zakhm, that he doesn't want to direct films ever again.

He wanted to give opportunities to people like me, Mohit Suri and Kunal Deshmukh. As a daughter, I knew what kind of effect UG had on Mahesh. I do believe that there is a film left in him and that is A Taste of Life.

Unfortunately, we're in a time where people read less. It will be a shame if this book is read by only a selected group of people.
