Bollywood actor Manoj Bajpayee opened up at the trailer launch of his film `Bhaiyya Ji` on how people from his state Bihar, as well as Uttar Pradesh, and "even Chhattisgarh" were treated with contempt elsewhere in the country. He spoke about how some people still have a stereotypical view of their counterparts from Bihar, whom they consider to be less intelligent. Without mincing words, he said those with a regional mindset only expose their narrowness and it shows that something is wrong with them.
Manoj was asked if the film’s tagline, `Bhaiyya nahi, Bhaiyya ji kaho`, has a subtext. Pulling the media person`s leg, Manoj said, "Kuch na kuch vivaad toh hona hi chaahiye, hai na (We need to have some argument or the other, don`t we)? See, whenever someone tells you something negative about your background or ethnicity, it means that the problem is with the other person, not with you."
