Responding to the same, Bhidu said, 'Sir, earlier, the area was such that the language was spoken in such a way that the ears were open. The mouth was closed, so you could learn what you were saying. And then there was you'. He further mentioned, 'In all your films, you were the one, right? We came later. You have given us the complete language of Mumbai. I mean, you have given us good language as well. But the language of Mumbai that we speak, sir, you have given us that beautiful language as well. There was a dialogue of yours as well'. Big B said, 'Oh, yes! In real life. It was in Amar Akbar Anthony. I was standing in the corner and someone ran towards me, so I hit him on the leg and he fell down. Yes. I caught him. 'Aisa to Aadmi Life mein Doich time bhaagta hai. Olympic ka race ho, yaa Police ka case ho' (A person runs like this twice in his life if it's an Olympic race or a police case). Why are you running, brother?'. Earlier, Jackie met the IPL team Mumbai Indians prior to the IPL finals, and retracted to his younger self.
