‘Paid grocer Rs 1 per message’: Mushtaq Khan reveals unusual way he got Mahesh Bhatt’s call
Mahesh Bhatt, a director with a prolific career spanning over five decades, has worked with actor Mushtaq Khan for more than a dozen films. However, their first meeting was an unusual and tedious process. Mushtaq had to wait for years before he could even speak to the seasoned filmmaker. He had a phone call only after he paid a grocer Rs 1 to inform him whether he got any calls.
After 15 days, the grocer finally informed Mushtaq about a call from Mahesh Bhatt, which eventually led to him getting his first film with the director - Kabzaa in 1988.
