The director of the movie,Ā Apoorva Lakhia, stated in an interview that Buwa once shot two girls at a bus stand in Bhandup, just because they were laughing at him.[1]
Maya DolasĀ was just reckless and foul mouthed. Dilip Buwa was cold blooded. Unlike Dolas, nothing could divert Buwa’s attention when his fingers were on the trigger. He was a mentor toĀ Chhota Rajan. Post shootout media coverage made out Dolas to be the big gun. āIt was far from the truth. Dolas just kept hurling abuses from inside the building, while there being pumped by Buwa. I knew nothing about Maya Dolas, except his reputation. Buwa was something else. He was Dawood Ibrahimās best shooter and his most efficient killer. Till date, there has been no second.āĀ [2]
