Speaking about spending 70 days in jail, filmmaker Vikram Bhatt said, "Someone told me to strike...deal with...very powerful person." "I replied, 'I may not be powerful...but my God is. If I'm not a criminal, I'll get bail'," Bhatt added. "There are...friends who no longer speak to me...Maybe they...don’t want to associate with someone who has been to jail," he stated.
