Mahesh Bhatt walked out of ‘Ghulam’ because he couldn’t tolerate Aamir Khan, reveals Deepak Tijori: “Aamir ko jhel nahi sakta” | Hindi Movie News

Early in his career, Aamir Khan’s perfectionism strained his collaboration with Mahesh Bhatt, leading Bhatt to quit the film ‘Ghulam’. Deepak Tijori revealed Bhatt couldn’t tolerate Aamir, prompting director Vikram Bhatt to take over. Mahesh later admitted walking away as filmmaking didn’t mean everything to him.

Early in his career, Aamir Khan worked with director Mahesh Bhatt on several projects, but their collaboration eventually broke down. Bhatt has often pointed to Aamir’s perfectionist nature as a challenge to his filmmaking style. However, the situation took a serious turn when Bhatt decided to leave his own film, ‘Ghulam’, as he found it impossible to continue working with Aamir.Deepak Tijori Reveals Bhatt’s DepartureDeepak Tijori, who acted in ‘Ghulam’, recently shared an interesting story during an interview with Bollywood Bubble. He revealed that Mahesh Bhatt left the project because he found it impossible to work with Aamir Khan. Tijori said, “I got to know that Bhatt saab left Ghulam. He said, ‘Mere se nahi hoga, Aamir ko jhel nahi sakta main (I can’t do this. Can’t put up with Aamir).’” Following Bhatt’s exit, Vikram Bhatt stepped in as the director, by which time the film had already been in production for two years.Mahesh Bhatt Opens Up About Walking AwayDuring a previous interview with SCREEN, Bhatt admitted, “I choose to walk away from it. I told Aamir, I didn’t think movies meant so much to me that I would dedicate my entire life to it. It doesn’t mean so much to me and I’d be lying if I say otherwise.” Before ‘Ghulam’, the duo had collaborated on ‘Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi’ and ‘Hum Hain Raahi Pyaar Ke’. In a separate conversation with Radio Nasha, Mahesh recalled that Aamir once spent 10 hours debating over his cap in ‘Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahi’.Reflecting on the Difficult ExperienceIn an old interview uploaded on Wild Films India’s YouTube channel, Mahesh Bhatt opened up about his time working with Aamir on ‘Ghulam’. He remarked, “He worked with me on Ghulam. That wasn’t a pleasant experience for me. When a man is burdened by his greatness, that burden is shared by people around him. Economically, that is very difficult, especially if you’re making movies with reasonable budgets.”
