The book containing 200-250 pages, and has an account of the travails I went through. It takes a great strength to put it down on paper. I have been able to do it," said Haladalakar.

"It is impossible to make a film on everybody's life but yes, an autobiography is an account of the person who has gone through the situation. It is better than plain imagination. The book is written in Marathi. I will read it, and if I find it interesting, I will make a movie on it," said Bhatt.
