Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on Wednesday said controversy is not always a bad word and a contrarian view point is relevant to society.
Bhatt, is the showrunner of "Dil Jaise Dhadke... Dhadakane Do", which revolves around a godman (Rahul Azam) and two children whose souls have been damned by destiny.
Directed by Guroudev Bhalla, the show stars child actors Jared Albert Savaille and Hirva Trivedi, besides Shruti Seth and Rahil Azam.
When asked if he is afraid of any controversy because of the godman angle, the filmmaker said he is open to different opinions.
"There is nothing significant that can be made without any controversy. Whenever you come up with a new point, there will be people who will say things from opposite perspective. Since when controversy became a bad word?
"I was mesmerised to see the show, I have seen three episodes and I was moved, I had tears in my eyes. The show has been made with utmost honesty and it respects the audience. I believe the show will set the screen on fire."
