The superstar travelled to Chandigarh from Shimla by road and boarded a plane to Mumbai from there after reports said two people on a motorcycle threw glass bottles at this residence early on Monday.

Bachhan, who was shooting here for Sujit Sircar's latest film Shoe Bite for over a week, was scheduled to stay on for another week, but following today's incident left for Mumbai in a huff.

Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) criticised the Bollywood icon in a public meeting recently for setting up a school in Ashwiraya Rai's name in Uttar Pradesh instead of Mumbai.
