"He's

"Your
last
film
'Aligarh'
was
superb,
I
couldn't
call
because
I
was
busy.
And
this
film
(Traffic)
is
even
better,"
he
added.
Both
Shahrukh
Khan
and
Manoj
Bajpayee
were
a
part
of
Barry
John's
theatre
group
in
Delhi
during
their
struggling
years.
The
two
had
then
worked
together
in
Veer
Zaara,
which
was
directed
by
Yash
Chopra.
"Shahrukh
is
a
very
old
friend
of
mine,
a
childhood
friend.
I
feel
that
our
director
Rajesh
Pillai,
who
passed
away
recently...
it's
his
blessing
that
such
good
things
are
happening.
I
Thank
Shahrukh
for
coming
during
the
promotion
of
Traffic," said
Manoj
Bajpayee.
The

Bajpayee,

Chatterjee,

Chatterjee,

Dutta,
