| NANA PATEKAR ON THE SETS OF KAMAAL DHAMAAL MALAMAAL |
Nana Patekar has actually taken on the mantle of a super-chef to see to it that the actors of Priyadarshan’s comic caper KAMAAL DHAMAAL MALAMAAL sets, produced by Percept Pictures, starring Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, Nana Patekar, Rajpal Yadav, Shreyas Talpade, Asrani and Shakti Kapoor among others have a taste of the traditional fish dishes, straight out of his mother’s recipe book.

Having learnt the traditional recipe of the mouth-watering dishes, powered by his mother’s traditional masala (comprising of over 42 ingredients), Nana cooked the meal for the cast and crew on the sets.

What is interesting is that contrary to Nana’s jovial and easygoing personality, the character in the film is such that Nana hardly speaks a word and uses his stone-faced expressions to walk off with the scene that generally has actors of the ilk of Om Puri and Shreyas Talpade among others.

Says producer Shailendra Singh, ‘We wanted to look beyond the star culture, to look at a league of extraordinary gentlemen, extraordinary actors, who would bring their own flavour and add value to the script and I think we have come up with the perfect cast.’

Nana Patekar feels that it is Priyan’s spirit that makes the vital difference. ‘Priyan and I, we had planned so many films, but it feels so good when one film happens. More than anything else, I love to act and leave the rest to my director. That is what happens with Priyan,’ says Nana.
May be, it is this confidence in the director that actually lets Nana take the load off his mind to keep the unit in high spirits with this unique sense of humour and to dish out extraordinary fare that keeps the unit of the Priyan comic caper going!
