Nana Patekar Embarrasses Ranbir Kapoor
|
That they got along like a house on fire during the shooting of
Raajneeti is a well-known fact. And the main reason for it was their
frank and forthright nature. Both Nana and Ranbir call a spade, a spade
and don’t care for the repercussions. During their long schedule in
Bhopal, Nana and Ranbir had many meals together (to which no other
member of the crew was invited) and discussed all things cinema from Raj
Kapoor to Mehul Kumar.
But the fact that Nana’s blunt-speak could cause Ranbir public
embarrassment had not been foreseen by the younger actor.
So it happened on Saturday in Delhi during a public event for
Raajneeti. In front of media-persons, Nana declared Ranbir had no faith
in the last film that starred Ranbir and Katrina, namely Ajab Prem Ki
Ghazab Kahani.
For a minute, there was a stunned silence among the stars of
Raajneeti specially Katrina who tried not to look anxious and
embarrassed.
Laughs Prakash, “Yes this incident did happen. A mediaperson asked
Nana if he feels Raajneeti would be a success. Nana rightly replied
there’s no predicting the box-office. That Ranbir had no faith in Ajab
Prem …which was such a success. You know how Nana is. He speaks from the
heart.”
Though Ranbir seemed quite cool with Nana’s heart talk one wonders
what the Ajab Prem…director Raj Kumar Santoshi feels about it.
