Talking about the ongoing row surrounding his upcoming movies, Bajpayee said, “Bandaa is one of the best films of my career. It is about the safety of the children and sends a message to parents and society on how to protect them from the dangerous world outside. This film was not made to defame Asaram Bapu.”

Recollecting his first visit to the disco, he revealed how Shah Rukh Khan, and his friends loaned a pair of shoes from a man in the lobby so that he could enter the club.
