Nana
Patekar
seldom
goes
into
raptures.
In
fact,
I've
never
seen
him
going
overboard
when
it
comes
to
praising
his
movies.
In
fact,
he
never
promotes
his
films,
like
the
way
other
actors
do.
"My
job
ends
the
moment
I
dub
for
a
film.
I
leave
the
rest
to
the
paying
public.
The
audience
response
after
the
first
show
says
it
all," Nana
tells
me.
However,
the
veteran
has
made
an
exception
this
time.
He
is
extremely
confident
of
his
new
film
Horn
Ok
Pleassss
and
is
ready
to
tell
the
world
about
it.
"It's
an
amazing
film.
By
the
time
I
could
complete
the
script,
I
had
decided
I
wanted
to
be
in
it.
Subsequently,
what
caught
me
by
complete
surprise
was
the
deft
handling
of
the
subject
material
by
Rakesh
Sarang
(the
director
of
Horn
Ok
Pleassss).
He
is
an
amazing
storyteller.
Also,
most
directors
feel
offended
when
you
point
out
a
flaw,
but
Rakesh
has
the
ability
to
strip
himself
naked
and
rectify
those
flaws," Nana
enthuses.
Nana
shares
an
emotional
bond
with
Rakesh
Sarang.
"His
father
gave
me
my
first
paycheck.
It's
something
I
can
never
forget.
Rakesh
was
keen
to
make
a
film
with
me
for
a
long
time,
but
the
pre-condition
was
that
he
ought
to
get
the
right
script.
Much
later,
he
hit
upon
this
brilliant
story
of
a
truck
driver.
The
rest
is
history," Nana
reveals.
After
Horn
Ok
Pleassss,
Nana
will
be
seen
in
Paathshaala,
again
with
a
new
director
--
Milind
Ukey.
"If
they
[new
directors]
have
great
stories
to
tell,
why
shouldn't
I
encourage
them?
Weren't
N.
Chandra
(Ankush),
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
(Khamoshi)
and
even
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
(Parinda)
new
at
one
point
of
time?" he
countered
questions.
With
multiple
films
on
hand,
what
happens
to
the
film
he
was
planning
to
direct
for
Prakash
Jha?
"That
got
delayed
due
to
Horn
Ok
Pleassss,
but
I
intend
starting
it
soon.
It's
a
love
story," he
states.
