'Arth' producer Kuljit Pal passes away, Mahesh Bhatt recalls he stuck with him through thick and thin

Kuljit Pal, the producer of 'Arth', passed away on June 24 due to a heart attack. Now, in a recent interview, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt who directed the film, remembered his producer and called him a brave heart.

‘Kuljit Pal, whom I affectionately called Kuli, was a giver, a giant of a man with an extraordinary sense of humor. He would laugh at himself and the situations around him. If it weren’t for his impact on my life, I wouldn’t have been able to create my enduring classic Arth. Making Arth required a brave heart, and Kuljit was a brave man,’ Bhatt told ETimes.

The filmmaker expressed his gratitude towards Pal. He said, ‘Kuljit stuck by me through thick and thin, allowing me to make the film of my choice, cast the people of my choice, and, above all, preserve the unorthodox climax that gives the film its essence.’
