Although marriage is not on the cards in the immediate future, Vikram Bhatt is secure in his relationship with the actress
Vikram Bhatt's autobiographical film Ankahee might not have got the response he hoped for, but this has not affected his personal life in the least bit.
On a personal note, Vikram is very happy with Amisha Patel "Life is great. The two of us have gone through the grind. Now we're happy together. Marriage? Not for a long time. Amisha has her own ambitions, and I don't want to come in the way. She wants to pursue her career. And I'm happy to just move back and give her that space. When you're in a permanent relationship, the ground rules have to be made very clear. Amisha and I were sure we'd never come in each other's way. I'd never want her to compromise on her values or vision."
How does he view these years of togetherness? "Amisha is wonderful. She showers me with so much attention that I never feel we aren't married. Amisha and I are for keeps. People may keep digging into our lives to sniff out a separation. But sorry, we aren't obliging."
Does he harbour any regrets about Ankahee? "I needed to get my own story out of my system. And I did. I wish it worked better. I can't say autobiographical films don't work. Mahesh Bhatt's Arth did. I won't hesitate in putting another chunk of my life on screen, provided it's unique for the audience and not just about me. I learnt something from Ankahee – to make films from the heart. I will never make another crafty film in my life. Even if I make another comedy it wouldn't be like Awara Paagal Deewana or Deewane Huey Paagal. It would be a cerebral comedy like Lage Raho Munnabhai. Great comedy like the ones of Charlie Chaplin are moving. At the end of the day cinema is about entertainment. I'd hate to get preachy or screechy."
Meanwhile, he's determined to do the cinema he believes in. "No more dishonest films for me. In my ready-for-release Red I've done a thriller in authentic shades. And now I've just started a film Life Main Kabhi Kabhi with a very interesting ensemble cast where the question of happiness is discussed."
The story of five friends is Vikram's first episodic film.
"I know episodic films are in vogue after Crash. And we've some really interesting episodic films in Hindi like Naseer's Yun Hota To Kya Hota and Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq. But I chose to use that format for the first time in Life Main Kabhi Kabhi because I believe a question like the nature of happiness needs a telescopic view. You can't talk about a theme as huge as happiness in an intimate linear style," he says. "I've done innumerable films. But in this case I'm shooting five different lives on different nights and days. It's disorienting and confusing."
Interestingly other directors like Sanjay Gupta are making introspective films. "All of us who've gone through a gamut of techno-wizardry have discovered the value of an honest story. In Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi there will be a lot of silences," he says.
