Nana Patekar Born on January 1, 1951, complete his study from Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai, India. He made his debut with GAMAN in 1978. He then acted in movies like MOHRE, SALAAM BOMBAY, but it was his movie PARINDA where he played the role of villain helped Nana get recognition in Bollywood. The same movie got Nana his first National Film Award for Best Supporting Actor. Post to which, Nana had to make space in his home for more trophies. He even won National Film Award for Best Actor for his ground breaking acting in KRANTIVEER.
Nana Patekar never stuck to similar kind of roles. Over a span of years, he experimented with every type of role. He mostly played hero in movies but Nana was equally appreciated in negative roles. He played roles like a gambler in KRANTIVEER, a wife beater in AGNI SAKSHI, deaf-mute father in KHAMOSHI and schizophrenic in WAJOOD. He even did a comic role in WELCOME along with Akshay Kumar and Anil Kapoor.
He ventured into different areas of filmmaking. He turned into a director for his movie PRAHAAR. Nana also sung for songs in movies YESHWANT, WAJOOD and AANCH. His song from YESHWANT ‘Ek Macchar’ was a liked by the audience and was a big hit. He also acted in Marathi movies and plays.
In 2011, Nana will be seen in Anees Bazmee’s ITS MY LIFE starring Harman Baweja and Genelia D’souza. The film is a remake of the superhit Telugu film BOMMARILLU. I am eager to see one more spectacular performance by this star.
