The cinematic legend Mahesh Bhatt has officially retired from directing at 77. Citing a creative industry stifled by rigid, algorithm-driven formulas, he is stepping away from the lens for good. Don’t expect a comeback; Bhatt is pivoting toward production and mentorship. He believes true artistry is dying in modern cinema, yet remains hopeful for future storytelling that prioritizes raw, human emotion.
