But did you know Nana Patekar woke up from illness and shot the climax scene?
According to reports, Nana Patekar shot the epic climax of the movie Krantiveer directly from the hospital. Krantiveer director Mehul Kumar said in a recent media interaction, “The climax of the film was shot at Film City, where Nana Patekar came and where his famous scene ‘Aa Gaye Meri Maut Ka Tamasha Dekhne’ was to be shot. During the shoot, Nana got ill; he was admitted to Nanavati Max Hospital due to a heart problem. Then I went to meet them and told him to shoot the climax only after he got well.”
Then Nana Patekar replied, “Mehul if I die, not only the climax but also the film will not be completed.” Saying this, he got ready to shoot the scene despite his illness. Nana Patekar came to shoot the climax scene with his doctor. They shot the entire climax in just one day. And guess what? Nana Patekar won the National Award for Best Actor that year for this film.
