Has Nana Patekar Really Become Outdated To Fit In A Bollywood Film?
When asked about the absence in the upcoming Welcome franchise film, Nana Patekar said that the makers might believe that he has been outdated.
What Is ‘Welcome’ Movie Franchise?
The Welcome movie franchise has been a part of Bollywood cinema, known for its blend of comedy and action. The first film, “Welcome,” hit the screens in 2007.
The film featured a star-studded cast, including Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, and Nana Patekar. This film was a massive hit, both critically and commercially, crossing the ₹100 crore mark at the box office.
The second installment, “Welcome Back,” released in 2015, continued the comedic saga with the return of Akshay Kumar, Anil Kapoor, and Nana Patekar, alongside new additions like John Abraham and Shruti Haasan. It too enjoyed great success, grossing over ₹150 crore at the box office.
Welcome 3: Welcome To The Jungle
“Welcome 3” installment promises a fresh twist as it ventures into the jungles of India. The cast includes Akshay Kumar, Raveena Tandon, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, and Bobby Deol.
These actors are renowned for their long acting career in Bollywood and bring a wealth of experience to the franchise.
However Nana Patekar is not the part of the film. His character, ‘Uday Shetty,’ from the Welcome franchise has garnered immense love and appreciation from the audience.
Welcome 3, Not Seems Promising
The teaser and glimpses of ‘Welcome To The Jungle’ movie are not creating much expectations so far. The presence of numerous film stars doesn’t always guarantee a great movie.
The real test will be whether the film can deliver an entertaining story or if it turns out to be just another time-pass Bollywood film. Audiences will have to wait for its release to make a final judgment.
Why Is Nana Patekar Absent in Welcome 3?
Nana Patekar’s absence from “Welcome 3” has left many fans puzzled and disappointed. Anil Kapoor is also not a part of the film. However, during the trailer launch of his film “The Vaccine War,” Nana Patekar shed light on this matter.
He humorously mentioned that “Unhe lagta hai ki hum purane ho gaye hain, shayad isliye nahin liya” (they think we have become old, that’s why they haven’t taken us).
Nana went on to express his gratitude to director Vivek Agnihotri for believing in him and offering him a role in “The Vaccine War.” He emphasized that the industry is never closed for those who wish to do good work.
Why Does ‘The Vaccine War’ Film Matter?
Moving on to “The Vaccine War,” this film holds significant importance. Directed by Vivek Agnihotri, it portrays the true story of Indian scientists’ fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and their development of an affordable vaccine, Covaxin.
This film serves as a tribute to the dedication and hard work of these scientists, shedding light on the critical role they played in combating the pandemic.
With a strong cast, including Anupam Kher and Nana Patekar, this film is set to inspire and inform viewers about the importance of science and research.
