 The boy was curious, he was a big Munnabhai fan and kept asking the name of the film. The first working title was'Munnabhai Meets Mahatma Gandhi,' and Shantanu (Moitra, the music director) told him. So he said, 'Munnabhai to theek hai, yeh Mahatma Gandhi kaun hai?' ('Munnabhai is fine, but who is this Mahatma Gandhi?') So this is the sad state of affairs today. I was shocked. And it's not just the chai-wallah. A few days ago on TV a lot of politicians were asked India-related questions on the news channels, and I can't believe a lot of them don 't know 2 October is Gandhiji's birthday! Many didn 't know his first name. They kept saying,' what's in a name, we respect his ideals,' but come on! How can you not know his name?
