Guess what, Bollywood buffs? Bollywood Newshound Nisha is back with another juicy scoop!
Oh, darlings, grab your popcorn because Nana Patekar has left us all in a tizzy! 🥳 The veteran actor, known for his riveting performances and no-nonsense attitude, has done it again—this time by turning down a role in the highly anticipated "Welcome To The Jungle." Yes, you read that right. No Udai Bhai in the jungle this time! 🌴
In a recent heart-to-heart with The Lallantop, Nana spilled the beans on why he decided to sidestep this cinematic jungle. Apparently, the script was a snooze fest. "They did approach us. We said no. Kahani nahi hai. Utna mazza nahi aaya," Nana candidly admitted. Translation? No story, no fun. Yawn! 😴
And if you thought it was just Nana throwing shade, hold on to your hats! He also mentioned that he initially had cold feet about playing Udai Bhai. "But it wouldn’t have been complete if Anil and I weren’t doing it together. If Anil and I are there, then only Welcome is possible. If you remove me, then he alone can’t make Welcome and vice-versa," Nana said. Basically, it’s a package deal, folks! You can’t have Majnu without Udai and vice versa. It’s like trying to make chai without masala—utterly pointless! 🍵
Fast forward to the trailer launch of "The Vaccine War," where Nana was once again quizzed about skipping the latest "Welcome" installment. His response? "I am not a part of it, maybe they think hum bahut puraane ho gaye hai (I have become outdated)." Ouch! Talk about a mic drop moment! 🎤
For those who have been living under a rock, Nana Patekar is not just any actor. He’s a three-time National Award winner, with iconic roles in films like Natsamrat, Wajood, Parinda, Ab Tak Chhappan, and Yeshwant. Most recently, he portrayed Balram Bhargava, the former director general of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), in "The Vaccine War." The man’s got range, people! 🎬
Nisha’s Nutshell: In Bollywood, if the story doesn’t sizzle, even legends won’t drizzle. Moral of the story, folks? You can’t expect seasoned actors to save a half-baked script. It’s like asking a Michelin-star chef to cook with expired ingredients. Ain’t gonna happen! 🍿💥
