Nana Patekar will be seen in Anil Sharma’s Vanvaas
It was on October 12, when filmmaker Anil Sharma announced his next titled Vanvaas, which he tagged as “Kalyug Ka Ramayana” starring Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma. The film will be a Christmas release and will hit the theaters on 20th December 2024.
Earlier Anil Sharma discussed casting Nana Patekar in the film and how he became his choice. He told ANI, “There are only a few actors of this age. Amitabh Bachchan has already worked in `Baghban` and `Piku` and many other such films. So, I felt that Nana Patekar would be a little fresh and we would get a different dimension in our character…I was very happy working with him.”
He added, “When I went to Pune to meet him for the first time, I gave him the narration of the script and told him the story for 10-15 minutes. At that time, he agreed. The character was like that. And I enjoyed working with him.”
Nana Patekar made headlines during the rise of the MeToo Movement in India. In September 2018, former actress Tanushree Dutta alleged that Patekar misbehaved with her on the sets of `Horn Ok Please` in 2008 while shooting for a special dance number for the movie, and went on to file an FIR against the `Welcome` star. However, Patekar refuted all allegations.
