Calling Gunda 'infamous' Namashi added that Gunda is a notorious film for its interesting content. Jr Charkarborty further added that today’s generation and many people think that his father is only capable of doing such films. "It became too infamous, so bad, it’s good.

The 1998 film, Gunda, also starred an ensemble cast of Mukesh Rishi, Shakti Kapoor, Harish Patel, Mohan Joshi and Deepak Shirke. As per the media reports, the film was pulled down from cinemas by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) after audience members complained about the film. However, over time, the movie and its characters have obtained cult status amongst Bollywood fans.
