Quotes
Mukesh Bhatt
Mukesh Bhatt is one of the producers of the film 'Savi' and was speaking in an interview with Lehren Retro.
“I don't think Alia Bhatt is so bankrupt that she has to steal ideas from my films. She is too big a person; she doesn't need to do all this. She is a very sorted, intelligent, decent, and good girl. She can't even dream of doing something so low.”

“Alia is too big for this. Usko yeh chichori harkat karne ki zarurat nahi hai (She doesn't need to do something this cheap).”
