Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt says he is more interested in the longevity of his films than by their debut grosses.
Mahesh on Wednesday took to Twitter, where he shared a poster of his film "Zakhm", which was released 21 years.
He wrote: "I am more interested in the longevity of my films than by their debut grosses. I ask does it have anything to say in 10 years or 20 years? Could it still have legs? Could it still be around? History is rife with films that we love today that were 'bombs' on their opening weekend."
