a note of thanks

Now that this site is up and running, I feel as if I’ve accomplished one of life’s missions. It all began in the year 1998, when I started scouring the world wide web, looking for certain information about Mr. Vijay Bhatt. Much to my dismay, all I got was a brief filmography and irrelevant information. It was really sad that a legend like him was literally ignored on the www. That’s when I determined to give the man the credit he deserved. 

I had first launched this website in the year 2001 and since then the internet is full of data on Vijay Bhatt. Today, this site is a detailed source of information on the legendary filmmaker, for his admirers. For me, it’s a much deserved tribute to my grandfather. An effort that has been made possible with help of my father Arun Bhatt, who provided me with many interesting, unknown facts and very important details but never lived to see the website; my mother Bharati Bhatt for carefully preserving the stills and press clippings for all these years; to renowned journalist Mr. Ali Peter John whose extensive article in the Screen magazine helped with much of the copy here; My sister Jahnavi Bhatt for editing the text. My brother Chirantan Bhatt, for helping me key in the copy. And finally I thank ‘Bhai’ for being the best grandfather.
