Mumbai: Big B would have never imagined that he would be accused of not doing enough for Maharashtra.

However, legendary actor, Amitabh Bachchan seems to have maintained a dignified silence on the issue so far and is currently with his family in Jaipur. Nevertheless, the film fraternity has been vocal about their support for the legendary actor.

“Amitabh Bachchan is an easy target for everyone. I think it is very shocking that people are throwing things at his place. What does it mean? He has entertained us for almost 40-years and he is a superstar. Are we not going to accept him as our own? Whether it is Mumbai or Allahabad, it does not make the slightest difference,” says filmmaker, Shyam Benegal.

On Monday morning two men reportedly threw glass bottles at Amitabh Bachchan's house ‘Pratiksha’, and MNS activists burnt the actor's effigy at Shivaji Park in the evening.

Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari's house was targeted in a similar manner on Tuesday. For an industry, that only regards talent and not an individual's regional or religious background, the ongoing issue of non-Maharashtrian's in Mumbai comes as a shock.

“I am a Bihari and I am a Mumbaikar. I am not going to leave this city,” says actor, Manoj Bajpayee.
