Bhatt felt uneasy after Parekh brought politicians into Zakhm's censorship row
Mahesh Bhatt reflected on the 1998 movie 'Zakhm' and the hurdles it encountered with censors due to its plot centered on Hindu-Muslim relations. He noted that the film struggled because the NDA was leading the government at the time. Bhatt shared that Asha Parekh, a board member, suggested they seek approval from LK Advani, which left him feeling quite troubled. He further explained that he felt forced to maintain friendly ties with the ruling government just to see the film reach theaters.
