Bollywood’s famous camp of Mahesh Bhatt seems to be losing their protegees. After Emraan Hashmi,
Kunal Deshmukh and Mohit Suri, Bhatts’ favourite writer Shagufta
Rafique too moves out of the camp. The writer has walked out of Mahesh
and Mukesh Bhatt’s company and collaborated with Pooja Bhatt and Bhushan
Kumar. She aims to be a director now so the move.
As per sources, Shagufta Rafique said that her directorial debut, a
Richa Chaddha- Ali Fazal starrer, is a sensuous love story which will
roll in December. “It deals with a gang rape. The scene is a nineminute
sequence with Mukul Dev as the mastermind and a juvenile involved. I
wrote the script seven years ago. A top corporate was ready to produce
it but wanted a say in the cast. That wasn’t acceptable to me, So I took
the script back.”
She further addded that, “Yes, I have moved out from that company. Mukesh would have never agreed to my directing a film which is why I told Mahesh not to push for me. He has a setup he is secure in, with Mohit (Suri) and Kunal (Deshmukh). But even they have given flops. Scripts fail, women directors don’t.”
Her producer, Pooja, explains, “Shagufta wants to fly, she wants her voice to be heard. Mukesh Bhatt distrusts women.”
So, will she go back to Bhatts? Shagufta said that if they want her as a director then Yes but Not if they want her as a writer.
