The Bhatt camp may have delivered bold content in their movies like 'Murder', Jism, Raaz, but veteran film-maker Mahesh Bhatt insists they have never treated women as commodities in their films.
"I have never looked at women as commodities. Like in my film Arth we showed a woman who deconstructs the institution of marriage. Zakhm was about a woman who chose to stay outside marriage," says Mahesh.
"In 'Murder' it was about a woman who decides to fulfil her desires as her husband was not giving her what she was looking for," says Mahesh while launching the first look of 'Murder 3'. The film-maker maintained that he did not treat actress Mallika Sherawat (who featured in the first of the series) as a commodity.
"Our film 'Murder' has not treated women like commodities. Mallika Sherawat was the architect of her destination. Our new offering 'Murder 3' shows the women of today," the 63-year-old says.
The third instalment in the 'Murder' series is directed by Mukesh Bhatt's son Vishesh. The film, starring Randeep Hooda and Aditi Rao Hydari in the lead, will release
next month.
