Bhatti was famous for his street plays like his Nonsense Club during his college days. Most of these plays were spoofs ridiculing corruption in society.
Before venturing into television, he was a cartoonist for the The Tribune newspaper in Chandigarh.
In the 1990s, he pioneered the home-made comedy on state broadcaster Doordarshan.
Bhatti's sharp, pungent cartoons continued for 5-6 years on the front page of Tribune newspaper. His pocket cartoons ‘Oddly Speaking” hit out at the malaise in the society.
