Muzammil Ibrahim: "Pooja Bhatt Was Extremely Abusive, Working With Her Pushed Me Into Depression"
After a successful modelling career and a couple of superhit music videos, Muzammil Ibrahim -- a popular face on the ramp in the early 2000s -- made his film debut in 2007 with the action thriller Dhokha, directed by Pooja Bhatt. In a recent conversation with TV host and podcaster Siddharth Kannan, the supermodel-actor levelled some serious allegations against Pooja Bhatt, saying the filmmaker was "extremely abusive" towards him on the film set. Muzammil, who won the Gladrags Manhunt Contest as Mr India in 2003, also alleged he slipped into depression because of Pooja Bhatt's disrespectful behaviour on the set of Dhokha. He was just 20 at the time, he added. Muzammil Ibrahim's Allegations Against Pooja Bhatt "I was called unprofessional at that time by Pooja Bhatt... She had a temperament, an attitude which was very disrespectful towards actors. Mahesh Bhatt used to like me a lot. But Pooja said a lot of things about me. I don't want to go into the details. I was very respectful towards her, but she had a very abusive nature. She was extremely abusive," Muzammil said on the podcast with Kannan. "I went through hell during its shoot. I suffered a lot, and I was very young. I got into depression because of it. I used to have nightmares. Every morning, I would pray to Allah to save me from her," he added. Mahesh Bhatt Tried To Intervene The actor, who featured in popular music videos such as Kabhie Aisa Lagta Hai by Lucky Ali and Pardesiya co-starring Rakhi Sawant, said Pooja Bhatt's filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt asked her to not misbehave with him. "But she would do it when he was not around. The crew members and even Mukesh Bhatt [Pooja Bhatt's uncle] told me stories about Pooja's behaviour and temper." Muzammil said the experience of working in the Bhatt camp was like a "nightmare". "I was scared to work with the Bhatts again. Mahesh sir was very keen on casting me in Raaz 2. Even Soni Razdan pursued me for doing their films, but I refused all of them," he added. Muzammil Ibrahim Claims Pooja Bhatt Likened Actors To Dogs "Pooja has told actors in the past that they are like dogs, when I tell them to sit, they should sit, if I tell them to stand they should stand. She would say this about John [Abraham] and Dino [Morea]. Someone who has this kind of attitude about their actors, imagine what kind of a person they would be," he said. In A Nutshell According to Muzammil Ibrahim, his Dhokha director Pooja Bhatt was abusive towards him on the set of the 2007 film. The ill-treatment pushed him into depression and would also give him nightmares.

Speaking of how Kiran Rao liked him in his debut film Dhokha, Muzammil told Siddharth Kannan, "Ayan liked me a lot. He told me that he was writing Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani keeping me in mind. He would often discuss casting with me, if he should take Deepika Padukone, Katrina Kaif... He would discuss this with me. We were very close. Deepika was the right cast for that film and I told him the same thing." He added, "What happened was... it went to the casting agents later on. And I hashed it out for a long time because there was a misunderstanding between me and Ayan for a long time as to why he didn't cast me." Ibrahim then elaborated on how he eventually lost out on the film, as Ayan explained, "Ayan told me that he will give me the script to read. And the casting agents came in the way and what they did, and how they communicated between me and Ayan..." "Ayan told me that I really wanted you in this film so obviously you feel... the casting agents really f**ked up things a lot. They have their own agendas and how they communicate things to the director. As long as things were between me and Ayan, we never had a slip. When it came to the casting agents, they did a lot of favouritism," concluded the model. Muzammil On Hesitating To Call Ayan Muzammil further shared that he knew Ranbir and Ayan were close friends, which kept playing in his head. Confessing how he was not sure if he should call Ayan, he said, "I was thinking that since he hasn't given me a script, is my role too tiny? He also told me that the casting will take the lead from here so it was not nice of me to ask him. Maybe I should have said something." Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Plot The story of the film revolves around four former schoolmates who go on a trekking trip to Manali. Deepika plays the role of a shy medical student named Naina who falls in love with Bunny, a brat, played by Ranbir Kapoor. The story then unravels to show how the stars align for them to end up together. In A Nutshell Muzammil Ibrahim is currently trending online ever since he confessed about his 2-year relationship with Deepika Padukone when she had moved to Mumbai. He has now spoken about how Ayan Mukerji had envisioned Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani with Muzammil playing the role of Aditya Roy Kapur in it.

Dhokha actor Muzammil Ibrahim claimed that stars like Nana Patekar and Shah Rukh Khan said that he should have the best debut award over Ranbir Kapoor for Saawariya for his 2007 movie read more Actor and model Muzammil Ibrahim, who made his Bollywood debut in Pooja Bhatt's directorial Dhokha claimed that stars like Nana Patekar and Shah Rukh Khan said that he should have the best debut award over Ranbir Kapoor for Saawariya for his 2007 movie. 'I think Ranbir had debuted that year with Saawariya, and Neil Nitin Mukesh had come with Johnny Gaddar. Nana Patekar said that I deserved all the awards, but would not get because Ranbir would win. Even I thought I deserved an award for Dhokha, I 100% deserved the best debut award. I feel I was better than Ranbir in Saawariya. I love Ranbir as an actor now, but if you compare him in Saawariya and me in Dhokha, I was better. Irrfan Khan had told Mahesh Bhatt that very few could have pulled off that part in Dhokha,' said Muzammil to Siddharth Kannan. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD He shared that he was not invited for the award shows and added, 'I felt that awards shows were supposed to be like a ballot, like we see in Oscars. But here everyone knows who is winning! Only Ranbir is sitting there, so he will win. It is pre-decided. I felt so bad when Shah Rukh Khan sir called my name and even said that he thought that I deserved the award more on stage. As outsiders, we cannot even complain about these. We are not even invited, how will you feel? I felt like crying, I felt so bad. I had so many expectations. I had suffered a lot while shooting the film, and still gave a brilliant performance. I am a big champion of outside talent, the struggle we go through is immense. The industry should learn not to put down outsiders.' Dhokha also featured Tulip Joshi, Anupam Kher, Gulshan Grover and Ashutosh Rana among others in key roles.
