Bollywood director Mahesh Bhatt visited The Actors Truth which is an acting institute owned by Saurabh Sachdeva. The director praised Saurabh for his craft saying, “I would want to work with him. I loved him in that frightening film Vadh, omg it was stunning.”

Mahesh on his visit to the institute encouraged the students and also appreciated Saurabh’s remarkable journey turning his visit into a memorable moment for the students.

Bhatt said,” Certain actors cannot play dark roles, like the one you played in Animal. While the front face is charming, not affected, he touches the nerve… You were actually more dangerous than those two guys fighting” while sharing his admiration for Saurabh’s craft.

Bhatt also shared the unpredictability of the changing world and added, “There is no red carpet waiting for you outside no map, no compass. You can’t turn your life into a compass and ask, ‘Where will I reach?’ It’s a new world, changing in the blink of an eye. We’re living in times so uncertain that even actors are becoming obsolete because of AI.”
