As a fervent admirer of Nana Patekar’s illustrious career spanning over four decades, it is awe-inspiring to witness his unwavering passion for his craft at 73. His candid conversation with Anil Kapoor about retirement plans offers a unique insight into the man behind the iconic characters he portrays on screen.

Nana Patekar, a highly respected actor in the film industry known for his sincere character, has been active in showbusiness for over four decades. His enthusiasm and drive to keep working are as strong as ever. Lately, he shared his thoughts on retirement with his long-time friend and co-star Anil Kapoor, expressing uncertainty about what he would do if not working, fearing that he might end up hurting someone due to his intense dedication.

Nana Patekar engaged in a discussion with Anil Kapoor about his upcoming film, Vanvaas. During their chat, they touched upon several personal topics, including potential future plans, which might include retirement. Anil inquired whether the 73-year-old actor had ever considered retiring. Initially taken aback, Patekar expressed some uncertainty and questioned the very notion of retirement.

The actor expressed his difficulty with retiring due to the high levels of ‘pollution’ and chaos in today’s world, saying, “Have you ever considered retirement? Can I retire? Things are just so hectic here, so much pollution, it’s like we can’t breathe.” This statement underscores how the actor derives meaning and fulfillment from his acting career.

He admitted in a confident tone that it’s the way he sees the future because he doesn’t know how he might function without work, whether behind or in front of the camera. He explained, “We would have died. We would have gone mad. We would have killed someone. This is what we have. We can remove whatever we have. What would have happened to us?” He also gave an insight with his response into how work has become an inseparable part of his life and significant for his sanity.

67-year-old Kapoor, known for his fitness and dedication, was momentarily perplexed when Patekar jokingly suggested that it would be hard for the actor from “Animal” to retire because his family might not be able to handle him. This lightened the mood.

As a dedicated lifestyle enthusiast, I am thrilled to share that the upcoming film “Vanvaas” is the brainchild of none other than Anil Sharma, renowned for his work in Gadar 2. The star-studded cast includes Nana Patekar and Utkarsh Sharma, and it’s set to grace our screens on December 20, 2024. I can hardly wait!
