ANIL SHARMA REACTS TO NANA PATEKAR'S VIRAL 'HITTING' VIDEO

During an interview with AajTak, Anil Sharma said, "I have just come to know about this news. I was watching the same video just now. Nana has not hit anyone; rather, that is a shot from my film. We were filming it on the road in the middle of Banaras, where a boy who comes near Nana has to be hit on the head. Shooting was going on, and Nana also hit him."

Addressing the controversy surrounding the video, he added, "But the crowd gathered there recorded it on their mobile cameras and then leaked the shot of the film. Now, Nana is being projected as a negative and rude actor on social media, which is completely wrong. Through Aaj Tak, I would request that the fans understand the truth of this video. This is a shot from the film. Nana has not hit anyone."
