It still leaves many baffled regarding why the actor chose a comedy drama over a much-anticipated film helmed by SS Rajamouli.
Rajamouli’s films are always made on a grand scale and it could have been a big opportunity for Nana Patekar to play a role that has a lot of meat. With an ensemble star cast, it looks like Nana’s character might not get more importance.
Things might change at one point for some reason. So let’s wait and see if Nana changes his mind and decides to take the role.
