• In an interview, he shared how he bagged the role of Babu in the Hindi film ‘Jhund.’ He said,
  

  In Nagpur, we have a settlement near the railway tracks. Our childhood has gone there. At that time I used to unload coal from the train and other people i.e. my team would collect it and sell it. At the same time, Nagraj Manjule entered. I saw them and I thought the police had come so I told everyone to run. But after a while, when we saw the camera in his hand, we thought, hey, it’s from a news channel. Not the police.”

  He said that, then the cameraman turned towards him and the other boys. He said,

  I quickly said, let it be your project Vaigare, but don’t name the settlement. This makes the name of the settlement bad. The habitat is mine. After saying this, he started laughing and after that he asked for the film.”
