%u201CHe is a great person. I request Maharashtrians not to harm him,%u201D says Amitabh Bachchan%u2019s make-up man Deepak Sawant.
Not only did Bachchan do a cameo in Sawant%u2019s Marathi film, he also worked in two Bhojpuri films produced by him, Ganga and Gangotri, all free of cost.
Sawant is livid with the recent controversy involving Big B. He said, %u201CWhy do people target Amitji? I am a Maharashtrian and have been working with Amitji for the past 36 years. He has helped thousands of Maharashtrians.%u201D
Sawant further pointed out, %u201CThere are around 25 Maharashtrians employed at his residence. He never discriminates against anyone. He is very humble.%u201D
The make-up-artist-turned-producer added that after the earthquake at Latur, Bachchan was among the first to help the victims.
When asked about Bachchan being made a scapegoat in politics, he appealed, %u201CPlease keep him out of political issues.%u201D
