Nana Patekar Intends To Direct Son Malhar in His Second Directorial Venture

Nana Patekar intends that his second directorial venture should be based on autism. Nana had earlier directed Prahaar in 1991.

The film, which will mark the debut of Nana’s son Malhar as an actor, will be produced by Prakash Jha, who had reportedly broken off all professional ties with Nana because of the actor’s hotheadedness. A source claims that Nana is in talks with Reliance Big Pictures to be the presenter of his film.

A source said, “Nana wants a prefect and ambitious launch for his son. The film will go on the floors in February next year and is about the relationship between a father and his autistic son. The film also stars Nana, Om Puri, Atul Kulkarni and Naseeruddin Shah. They are looking for a new female face opposite Malhar.”

While Prakash Jha confirmed the news about producing the film, the spokesperson of Reliance Big Pictures said, “These are speculations and we do not wish to comment.”

Nana remained unavailable for comment.
