Never compared them before but you are right. Both always had/have a know it all attitude and no filters. But while Rishi always presented an image of a family man (affairs’ rumors not withstanding) and sort of bragged about being conservatives Mahesh brags about being a liberal, write articles about his affair with Parvin Babi and says things like marriage is an archaic institution.
Mahesh was a great filmmaker and has made some great contributions to Hindi cinema. But unfortunately he’s more known for his controversial comments. It does appear that after SSR’s death and his stupid and arrogant statement on that his family (more than likely Alia since it affected her the most) has put a muzzle on him. He’s been pretty quiet in recent times.
Another common factor is that both of whom had adulterous absentee fathers which affected them in different ways. And both have been frank about their respective fathers. In a way it is a pity to muzzle him though it's necessary. We need people who don't give a damn and tell the truth bluntly. His Koffee with Karan interview with Emraan was a delight.Karan even repeated his sarcastic comments about Alia's bridesmaids -much to Alia's embarrassment.
