Nana Patekar is one of those powerful personalities of Hindi cinema, who has always been in the news for his tremendous acting skills and strict nature. He has been seen in very intense roles in films like ‘Kranti’, ‘Tiranga’, ‘Parinda’, ‘Vajud’ and ‘Agni Sakshi’. There is no doubt that whatever character he chooses, he not only plays it but lives it completely. His anger, pain, emotions and sharpness appear so real on screen that the audience themselves connect with that character. But this dedication also becomes a challenge for them. On the set, he is so crazy about perfection that sometimes his methods become the cause of controversies. Still, the result is always amazing. Nana Patekar’s acting style is a great example of method acting, where he gets into the character so deeply that the boundary between real life and film character gets blurred. Something similar happened on the sets of the 1997 film ‘Yashwant’.
- Nana Patekar’s strict nature and real acting: Nana Patekar is a very famous star of Bollywood. The character he plays, he does not just act but lives it completely. His nature is very strict and he wants excellent performance on the set. This is the reason why working with him is challenging for many artists. They want every scene to look absolutely true and natural.
- Shooting incident of 1997 film ‘Yashwant’: In the film ‘Yashwant’, Nana Patekar and actress Madhu were playing the role of husband and wife. Madhu had to cry in a very emotional scene. The director had given the whole day’s time. When Madhu was going to apply glycerin, Nana stopped her and said that real tears should come out on their own. When Madhu could not cry, Nana suddenly slapped her hard. The slap was so strong that tears automatically came to Madhu’s eyes.
- Madhu’s counterattack and success of the scene: Madhu became very angry after being slapped because nothing like this had happened in the rehearsal. He is angry by nature, so he immediately turned around and slapped Nana hard. This entire scene turned out to be so true and real that the shooting was completed in just half a day. Nana told the director that there is no need for any more shots, the scene has been done.
- What Madhu learned and her statement: Madhu later told in the interview that after this incident she became a method actor by working with Nana Patekar. Nana taught him that one should not just play the character, but live it to the fullest. However, Madhu also clarified that Nana never behaved rudely or rudely with her. He used to get angry only when there was scope for further improvement in acting.
- Old controversial incident with Sai Paranjape: Another example of Nana Patekar’s strict nature happened during the shooting of the 1990 film ‘Disha’. There was a big dispute with filmmaker Sai Paranjape. Sai became so upset that she asked Nana to either work professionally or leave the set. Nana left the set angrily, but returned after half an hour and warned Sai that you are a woman so be safe, otherwise you would not have been here. Nana is still known for his exceptional acting and method acting, even though his methods sometimes create controversy.
