Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who shares a very close bond with the actor too, expressed his delight at the actor’s release. While talking to PTI, Bhatt said, “People have always written his obituary but he has bounced back. He has dazzled everyone with his work. This time too I am hopeful he will come out as a stronger man. I don't look at him as an actor and even he doesn't look at me as a director. While making 'Naam' we came close emotionally. His wife Maanyata wanted me to be at his home today. I think this is a personal moment for him and I don't want to invade on this time. I would surely meet him soon.”
