His college street &lsquo;Nonsense Club&rsquo; was a spoof on the same and became quite famous Before shifting focus to television, he was a cartoonist for &lsquo;The Tribune&rsquo; newspaper in Chandigarh Bhatti had set up a training school and studio in Chandigarh and named it &lsquo;Joke Factory&rsquo; In the run up to the 2009 General Elections, Bhatti took his spoof on Indian politics to the streets, forming an outfit named &lsquo;Recession Party&rsquo;. The cause, which was to shame tainted Indian politicians, saw many noted comedians including Johny Lever, Rakesh Bedi and Rajesh Puri joining hands with Bhatti At a carnival in Chandigarh in 2009, Bhatti put up a stall displaying vegetables, daal, etc. People were invited to throw rings around those to win them as prizes. This was Bhatti&rsquo;s attempt to mock the government&rsquo;s failure to control inflation In an ironic twist of fate, Bhatti died a day before his latest Punjabi film &lsquo;Power Cut&rsquo; was scheduled to release. Not surprisingly, his last movie is also a satire on corruption, power outrage to be precise u00a0
