Krishna Bhatt uses the word “family” carefully. After nearly three decades in the industry, he has seen enough productions to know the difference between a team that says it and one that actually means it. When it comes to Eagle Films and the making of Office Office Chali Musaddi Ki Beti, he means it.
The atmosphere on set, he says, was something he has rarely experienced elsewhere. He said, “Fantastic environment. Because the producer kept the entire team in such a way that everyone stayed together, got along well, and worked well together. Aman ji used to come early in the morning; Vivek ji used to take care of everyone.”
“The food was very good; I think I may have even gained some weight. The director, sir, is very cool and got everyone to work with a lot of love. The co-actors are amazing. The technicians, the DOP, everyone used to take care of us while smiling,” he added.
At the center of all of it was Umesh Mehra, a man whose stature in the industry is matched, by all accounts, by his warmth as a human being. He said, “Umesh ji is such a senior person; he has made so many films, yet he is very down to earth. He used to bring home cooked food for us and make us eat. And if any actor ever made a different request saying they wanted a specific dish next time, he would say that next time he comes, he will get it made. So it really felt like a family.”
“It was a very good atmosphere, and he made us work with a lot of love. Because of that, it never felt like we were shooting. We used to wake up happily in the morning and go for shoots,” he added.
For Krishna, Eagle Films is not just a production house he has worked with but a place he returns to willingly every time. He said, “For me, Eagle Films is like a family. I have worked with them before as well, and whenever I get a call from there, I immediately say yes because the kind of atmosphere they create on set is such that everyone works with love and affection. There is nothing purely professional about it; it truly feels like a family.”
He closes with the kind of confidence that comes not from promotional obligation but from genuine belief. “Instead of complaining, you should give your 100 percent and work honestly. I am fully sure that people will really like it. Office Office Chali Musaddi Ki Beti rocks,” Krishna ended.
