In a recent interview with Sucharita Tyagi, Manoj Bajpayee said, “I owe my career to him. We stay in touch. Sometimes, he calls me just to give me ‘gaalis’ (abuses). The reason being I had done this music video ‘Sapne Mein Milti Hai’ out of goodwill gesture. And he called me and said, ‘What have you done, the song's remix is not good’. Then, I told him, ‘Ramu, sometimes you do things for your friends’. He said 'I know, I understand that; but why did you do that?' If I get a call from him it is mostly because he is going to really blast me or criticize me for something. That is the kind of relationship I have with him.”
