Muzaffar Ali still remembers the moment he spotted Nana Patekar's performance in the Marathi version of the play 3 Penny Opera and instantly decided to cast him in Gaman.

"He was a no-nonsense guy, and he did what he thought was right. He was like a younger brother to me; he was a great pillar of strength. So, we were not like an actor-director kind of relationship. He was so good with Smita, I thought Smita and he would make a great combination on screen," Ali told PTI.

"We were all youngsters. It was his first film; it was my first film. I borrowed money from NMDC. Fortunately, I was working with Air India. So, I had a job. I was not really a struggler. But he didn't come to me for money. We became friends."

"He felt he could enjoy and relate to many more things that I was interested in... whatever I could pay him, I paid him. He was just a person who was passionate about discovering things, getting to know people, and doing things. And then he found his way. Both of us were lucky to have met when we met," Ali said.

When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'! He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile. He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back. He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories. Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom. You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona' May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

कुछ मुलाकातें और कुछ लोग ज़िंदगी में हमेशा याद रह जाते हैं। नाना भाऊ के साथ हाल ही में ‘वनवास’ के दौरान फिरसे स्क्रीन शेयर करने का सौभाग्य मिला। इतने वर्षों से जिनकी अदाकारी को देखते और सराहते आए, उनके साथ फिरसे काम करना मेरे लिए बेहद खास अनुभव था। उन्हें सिर्फ़ उनके किरदारों के ज़रिए नहीं, बल्कि व्यक्तिगत रूप से भी जानने और उनसे कई बार मिलने का मौका मिला है और उनकी सादगी और अपनेपन की यादें हमेशा मेरे साथ रहेंगी। एक बेमिसाल कलाकार को खोने का दुख तो है ही, लेकिन एक खूबसूरत इंसान को खोने का दर्द उससे भी ज़्यादा है। भाऊ, आपका काम और आपकी यादें हमेशा हमारे बीच रहेंगी। भावपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि 🙏🏻
