Mumbai, Feb 5 || Veteran actor Nana Patekar is a man of his word. The actor, who is awaiting the release of his upcoming film ‘O’Romeo’, shot for a sequence in the film while battling an intense fever of 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
The film is directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, and the sequence in question is a high-octane action set piece shot on a train set.
Recalling the incident, the filmmaker said, “Suddenly, while we were shooting this action sequence in the train, I got to know that Nana Sir was unwell and had a 102-degree fever. We immediately called the doctor, who said he would give an injection but advised that Nana Sir should not shoot”.
He continued, “But Nana Sir, being Nana Patekar, said, ‘No, I am not going back. I want to shoot. I want to complete this sequence. I can’t take this on my head ki mere wajah se shooting cancel hui, location cancel ho.’ And for the next four hours, he kept shooting with us.”
