Humari Adhuri Kahani based on Mahesh Bhatt’s parents life

Humari Adhuri Kahani is a semi-biographical film. The film is not a biopic but some of the incidents are based on Mahesh Bhatt’s parents and his stepmother. Emraan Hashmi told The National, “I didn’t know when I signed the film. Hamari Adhuri Kahani has a lot of moments from the lives of people around me and that just made it all the more real for me”.

Talking of how the fact affected his performance in the film, Emraan said, “Of course it did. It was connecting with the lives of my family members. You don’t get this chance in every film. When you connect with something properly, it makes for something totally different. It’s not going to be just another performance in just another film. This is as real as it gets”.

Rajkumar Rao who also features in the film, talked about his role to Hindustan times in an interview. The actor said, “My character is loosely based on Bhatt Saab's step mother but only on the emotional side and nothing else”. Humari Adhuri Kahani has realised today.
