Meet actor who once faced poverty, then became a star after his debut, was offered Rs 20 crore for 15 days of shoot, refused to work with SS Rajamouli due to…, he is…
Bollywood has witnessed countless actors carving a place for themselves in the industry. While some of these stars came from humble beginnings and hustled their way up in Indian cinema, others had the advantage of coming from families with deep roots in the film industry. Today, we'll talk about one such actor who faced significant hardships in his initial days. Despite numerous struggles, this actor never gave up—and today, he stands tall as an established name in Bollywood. He has proven his versatility time and again. From comic roles to grey-shaded characters, this actor has done it all in his 13-year-long active journey. If you're wondering who we're talking about, it is none other than the one and only Nana Patekar. Nana came from a family that endured poverty. In one of his interviews, the veteran actor spoke candidly about his financial struggles during his early years. Before becoming an actor, Nana took up odd jobs to make ends meet. His first income came at the age of 13 when he earned Rs 35. However, despite the highs and lows, the actor never gave up on his dreams. He always believed that one day he would make it big—and that's exactly what happened. Nana Patekar made his film debut in 1978 with the Hindi film Gaman. Although the movie wasn't a blockbuster, it gave Nana the recognition he needed to break into the industry. Over the years, Nana Patekar established himself as a powerhouse performer, and today he is a respected and well-known figure in Indian cinema. You might be surprised to know that Nana's stardom has reached such heights that, according to a recent report, he was offered ₹15 crore for just 15 days of shooting—but he turned it down. To provide some context, the offer was reportedly for a role in SS Rajamouli's upcoming film SSMB29. According to sources, Rajamouli himself traveled from Hyderabad to meet Nana at his farmhouse in Pune, personally narrating the script to him. The role was that of Mahesh Babu's father—Mahesh being the lead actor in the film. Despite the interesting character, Nana declined the role. Reports suggest that he was not impressed with the part and therefore chose not to be a part of the film. Meanwhile, as for SSMB29, the movie is also reportedly set to feature Priyanka Chopra, among others. Further details about the film are still awaited.
