"If you rub us the wrong way and try to test our response, you will be on the run," he added.
Meanwhile, Jaya has apologized for her alleged "anti-Marathi" remarks at a recent film function in Mumbai, saying that she didn't intend to hurt the people of Maharashtra.
According to reports, Jaya has said in an interview to a newspaper that she was sorry if she has hurt the people of Maharashtra. She, however, clarified that she was misunderstood and that her comments were actually hinted at those Bollywood actors who despite working in Hindi films prefer to talk in English during interviews.
She has also said that she can never insult Mumbai or the people of Mumbai because the city 'has given her everything'.
