Suddenly I see Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Abhishek, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, everyone stepping out. Jaya ji saw me from far away and came to me and said, “You’re that Bapat boy right? I’m so proud to meet you, you’re so promising. I keep telling Abhishek to look out for you.” Refugee had released a while back. She called Abhishek and he hugged me and said “Dude, everytime your promo comes, my mom calls me and says look out for this guy, he’s your competition,” Raqesh said.
