Mahesh Bhatt, the filmmaker, who is the actor's father-in-law, has commented on the continuing debate even though the actor's portrayal of Ranvijay in the action-thriller has drawn both praise and criticism. Mahesh Bhatt expressed his point of view in response to the varying views of Ranbir's role, noting that public criticism of the film industry is unavoidable.

Bhatt spoke fondly about how he got to know Khosla at the last schedule of Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz's movie Do Raaste in an interview with the popular entertainment channel. When Bhatt first met the renowned director, "Tune Kajal Lagaya Din Mein Raat Hogayi" was being filmed.

The duo has produced successful films including Ghulam, Raaz, 1920, and Haunted – 3D over the years. Although Vikram collaborated with Mahesh's nephew Emraan Hashmi on Kasoor and Footpath and his older daughter Pooja Bhatt on Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin, he has never directed Alia Bhatt, Mahesh's youngest daughter.

Mahesh Bhatt was originally slated to direct the popular film 'Ghulam.' Bhatt recalls a serious conversation he had with Aamir Khan in which the actor asked if he could channel all of his enthusiasm and dedicate his life to the making of 'Ghulam.' The conversation took place in an interview with a renowned news outlet.

Mahesh Bhatt has previously criticized comparisons between his picture and Richard Gere's Unfaithful, which was released two years before Murder. April 2, marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Murder.

Pooja, the famous filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's daughter, has constantly faced criticism, particularly over her personal life. She has received criticism for her unsuccessful marriage to Manish Makhija, even though she had attracted attention for kissing her father on the lips during a photoshoot.

Following Raha's birth, Ranbir, Alia, and Neetu Kapoor invited the media to a modest event and asked them not to take pictures of their daughter. The couple requested that the media respect their privacy, and Raha's photos were never taken or released.
