Mahesh Bhatt will become student again

After a string of critically as well as commercially successful films like 'Sadak', 'Zakhm' and 'Saaransh', one would have thought that Mahesh Bhatt would hang his boots and sit back see the younger generation take over. However, the filmmaker is far from retiring. Even though he may not be making a film anytime soon, he still remains a student of cinema. In an interview, the veteran director said he wants to learn as much as he can about the new styles of filmmaking from director Srijit Mukherjee who will be directing one of Bhatt's home productions.

He said, 'A wise man once said that an illiterate man in the 21^st century is not one who knows how to read and write, but someone who is willing to learn, unlrearn and relearn. I'm in the process of unlearning and relearning. Bhatt now wants to see how far has the process of filmmaking reached, and what are the new developments in filmmaking. He says, 'I want to know how the scenes are set up. I also want to know how directors talk to their actors to extract performances.' Well, looks like there's no stopping this determined student of cinema!
