When Raftaar took the stage on Saturday night at the Bollywood Music Project fifth edition show at Bandra Kurla Complex, instead of starting his performance with a song, he first made an anti-CAA statement. An angry Raftaar said, "You can't ask me my religion when I come on stage. Today, I am being asked my religion to stay in this country. Everyone is like my brother and sister. I am standing by them [students]. No one will leave this country. Yeh desh kisi ke baap ka nahin hai," he further added, "We are one so let's begin the party."
Raftaar then belted out his numbers, Dilli wali baat cheet, Bandook meri Laila and Aisi dhakad hai among others.

Dabangg 3 collected Rs 24.5 crore on its first day of release.
