Nana Patekar who was accused of sexual harassment and was ousted from Sajid Nadiadwala’s Housefull 4 in 2018, is back after a two-year exile. He will be seen in a biopic on the digital platform to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala’s cousin Firoze Nadiadwala.
Confirming his wholehearted support for Nana, Firoze says, “In fact, I announced my web series on RAW head, Rameshwarnath Kao, with Nana Patekar in the lead just a few days after he was accused (of sexual harassment). It is very important for me as an individual to stand up for what I believe in. And I truly believe that Nanaji has done nothing wrong. He has a spotless reputation of 40 years to back up his decency. What happened to him was wrong. So yes, I am doing Nanaji no favour,”
Nana will play Rameshwarnath Kao. Vivek Agnihotri(Tashkent Files) directs this political webseries.
Is Firoz ready for the backlash? “I’ve built my career on the beatings that life has given him. I’ve collected all the stones that are pelted at me and built my home with them.”
