And if you see, all he said was it would be tough act to follow, which is a fair comment, considering the grand success it had, he is not saying that he was a great star or he made it happen (We all know what path his career took after this movie) , If asked, Rahul would probably accept that even they had not anticipated the success. & I dont see why Mahesh Bhatt is criticizing him so much.
Rahul Roy, who starred in the 1990 hit, recently told a newspaper that Aashiqui would be a tough act to follow. Commenting on this Mahesh Bhatt said, "Rahul Roy is delusional. He wants Aashiqui to end with him. When it didn't end with me, how can it end with him? I have discovered him. I think he should wake up and have some humility."
