When the producer of the film, Aswini Dutt got on stage, Amitabh Bachchan went on to the mic and spoke about him. He went on to say, “He’s the owner of Vyjayanthi Films along with his two daughters (Swapna and Priyanka) and I have never met a more simple man, and a humble human being than Aswini. Every time on set, he is the first person to be there and he will ensure you are protected. No one would think like this.” After that he said, “with all due respect” before touching Aswini’s feet who also touched Big B’s feet in return.
