Vikram Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatt’s silence during fraud case: ‘Maybe he was helping me’

Vikram Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatt’s silence during fraud case: ‘Maybe he was helping me’ Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt has opened up about the legal troubles that landed him in jail for 70 days, the people who stood by him, and why he harbours no resentment towards mentor and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt for not publicly speaking in his defence. Vikram Bhatt was in jail for 70 days after being arrested in connection with a dispute surrounding a proposed biopic on IVF founder Ajay Murdia's late wife, Indira Murdia. The filmmaker and his wife, Shwetambari Bhatt, were accused in an alleged Rs 30 crore fraud case. The couple was arrested in December 2025 after a dispute related to the proposed biopic. According to the FIR, Ajay Murdia had met Bhatt in Mumbai in April 2024 to discuss a film based on his late wife's life, along with another potential historical war project. The complaint alleged that financial disagreements later emerged between the parties, ultimately leading to legal action. Vikram and Shwetambari were granted bail in February 2026. Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Vikram addressed the allegations against him and maintained that the accusations were baseless. ‘The chargesheet couldn't prove anything’ Asked about the fraud allegations, Vikram dismissed the claims outright.
