Although Mahesh Bhatt had retired from film direction after his semi-autobiographical Zakhm, he recently took over the directorial reins temporarily to finish the shooting of his production Tumsa Nahin Dekha .
Mahesh makes it clear that he is not returning to direction. He has written the script, and is producing Tumsa Nahin Dekha, but he had not plans to don the director's cap for the movie until the real director Anurag Basu was hospitalized.
Basu, who had earlier directed Bhatt's Murder , is undergoing treatment for cancer at the Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai.
Bhatt says that he took the director's baton just to finish the remaining seven days of shooting for the movie.
