Bachchan's speech during the musical launch of Drona in the second half of 2008 was criticised by some sections of politicians in Maharashtra. In response to the film's director, Goldie Behl, making his introductory speech in English, she said in Hindi, Hum UP ke log hain, isliye Hindi mein baat karenge, Maharashtra ke log maaf kijiye. (Translation: We are people from UP, so we will speak in Hindi. People of Maharashtra, please forgive us.) Subsequently, she encouraged actress Priyanka Chopra to speak in Hindi.
