Mumbai:
The
Bhatt
camp
may
have
delivered
bold
content
in
their
movies
like
Murder,
Jism,
Raaz,
but
veteran
filmmaker
Mahesh
Bhatt
insists
they
have
never
treated
women
as
commodities
in
their
films.
"I
have
never
looked
at
women
as
commodities.
Like
in
my
film
Arth
we
showed
a
woman
who
deconstructs
the
institution
of
marriage.
Our
new
offering
Murder
3
shows
the
women
of
today."
Zakhm
was
about
a
woman
who
chose
to
stay
outside
marriage," he
told
reporters
today.
"In
Murder
it
was
about
a
woman
who
decides
to
fulfil
her
desires
as
her
husband
was
not
giving
her
what
she
was
looking
for,"
Bhatt
said
at
an
event
where
the
first
look
of
Murder
3
was
launched.
The
filmmaker
maintained
that
they
did
not
treat
actress
Mallika
Sherawat
(who
featured
in
the
first
of
the
series)
as
a
commodity.
"Our
film
Murder
has
not
treated
women
like
commodities.
Mallika
Sherawat
was
the
architect
of
her
destination,"
the
63-year-old
said.
The
third
installment
in
the
Murder
series
is
directed
by
Mukesh
Bhatt's
son
Vishesh.
The
film,
starring
Randeep
Hooda
and
Aditi
Rao
Hydari
in
the
lead,
will
release
next
month.
