It happened so when Mehta shared his thoughts on Amar Kaushik’s directorial calling it an ‘achievement and experience’ which deserves a ‘franchise’. In his post on the micro-blogging site, the filmmaker wrote, “#Bhediya is an achievement, an experience. I went in as an @amarkaushik fan and emerged out of the cinema hall as a bigger fan.”
#Bhediya is an achievement, an experience. I went in as an @amarkaushik fan and emerged out of the cinema hall as a bigger fan. Top class VFX, good storytelling, technically top class and very well acted. This film deserves all the encouragement and success to become a franchise.

“Top class VFX, good storytelling, technically top class and very well acted. This film deserves all the encouragement and success to become a franchise,” his tweet read further.
However, a Twitter user who went by the name ‘Vinod R’, replied to his post saying, “Kar lo support, boxoffice failure hai ye, (support all you want but the movie is a box office failure),” to which, the filmmaker hit back and wrote, “Tere Pappa ke paison ka afsos hain, (feeling sorry for your father’s money.)”
Following the comment, several netizens called out Mehta for his ‘frustrated’ remark and suggested he have a look at Box Office collections of ‘Bhediya’.
