Mahesh Bhatt completes the narration ‘U.G. Krishnamurti: A Life’; A special connection with grandchild Raha!

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has recently confirmed that he has completed the narration of his book ‘U.G. Krishnamurti: A Life.” Talking about the same Mahesh has revealed that the book is connected with his granddaughter. The director/producer said he wanted to leave his voice for his grandchild Raha with this book.

“I needed to leave my own voice for my grandchild, Alia’s daughter, who is now being called Raha. So someday, years later, she will hear the words of her grandfather talking passionately about this fascinating man whom he has had a very intimate relationship with for over the last 30-35 years,” he said.

The director also revealed that he got help from his wife Soni Razdan while completing the narration. “I got my first basic training (about narration) from my wife Soni because she is a trained actor. She picked up the craft in the UK in a drama school. And she just told me you must win. And she told me that it’s the most intimate form of communication. So, you’re not talking to somebody out there in the world.”

“But she said that when you do an audiobook, it must have the warmth and the intimacy of talking to a very dear friend who is sitting very close to you. Unless you have that thirst to share with that sincerity you want to reach them and so I found that instruction, the lodestar for me, and I used that instruction as the compass when I recorded my book,” he said.

For those who don’t know, U.G Krishnamurti: A Life is a biography of the life of Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti. The book was written by the director in 1992 and now he has completed its narration for Audible.
