Mahesh Bhatt left Ghulam because of Aamir Khan, says Deepak Tijori: ‘Aamir ko nahi jhel sakta main'
Aamir Khan got the moniker of Mr Perfectionist very early on his career and after associating with director Mahesh Bhatt for a couple of films, the two fell apart. Bhatt has previously blamed Aamir's perfectionism as a hindrance to his own process but things were very different when Bhatt abandoned his own film, Ghulam, because he just could not continue to work with Aamir. Deepak Tijori, who was also a part of Ghulam, recently recalled this anecdote in a chat with Bollywood Bubble and shared that Mahesh Bhatt actually quit the film because he could not work with Aamir Khan. He recalled, 'I got to know that Bhatt saab left Ghulam. He said, 'Mere se nahi hoga, Aamir ko jhel nahi sakta main (I can't do this. Can't put up with Aamir).'' Deepak recalled that it was after this that Vikram Bhatt took over as the director, and at this point, the film had already been in the making for 2 years.
