Nana Patekar On Anil Kapoor: Famous Bollywood actor Nana Patekar recently denied the allegations of sexual harassment leveled by actress Tanushree Dutta in an interview. He called Tanushree’s allegations false. In the same interview, Nana Patekar also talked about an incident related to Anil Kapoor.
Let us tell you that Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar have appeared together on the big screen. But Anil Kapoor had Nana Patekar removed from one of his films. Nana has made a big revelation about this in an interview. Let’s know what the actor has said.
The story is related to the 1989 film ‘Parinda’
This incident is related to the film Parinda. This film was released in the year 1989. Apart from Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Jackie Shroff also worked in it. This film was directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. Vidhu was also its producer.
Anil Kapoor had taken this step due to insecurity
Nana said in an interview to ‘The Lallantop’, “Initially Naseeruddin Shah was supposed to play the role of Anna, but later I played this role myself. Because Naseeruddin Shah backed out. Anil and I rehearsed a lot. I prepared for six months. I recently asked Anil, did you ask Vinod to remove me from the film? He said that I thought why should I make Nana a star? Obviously if you played Jackie’s role, you would have become a star. I told Anil that whatever role you give me, I will become a star anyway. No one will look at you.”
The actor further said, “Nowadays everything is fine between Anil and me. But at that time he was a star. He asked Vinod to remove me from the film and he did so. I also walked out. After three-four months Vinod came to me. He asked me if I could play the role of Anna. At first I got angry, then I agreed.”
Parinda earned 9 crores rupees
The film ‘Parinda’, which was released about 35 years ago, earned 9 crore rupees at the box office. While Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar, Jackie Shroff and Madhuri Dixit played important roles in it, Suresh Oberoi and Tom Alter played side roles.
Talking about the work front, Nana Patekar was last seen in Bollywood in Vivek Agnihotri’s film ‘The Vaccine War’. On the other hand, Anil Kapoor is currently hosting Bigg Boss OTT 3. He is being paid Rs 2 crore for one episode of this.
