The trailer launch of O'Romeo in Mumbai was meant to be a celebratory evening for the film's cast and crew. However, it unexpectedly grabbed attention for a different reason after veteran actor Nana Patekar walked out of the event midway.
According to those present at the venue, Nana Patekar left the event after waiting nearly an hour for the programme to begin. He chose not to wait any longer and exited, a moment that quickly became the talking point of the evening.
Vishal Bhardwaj's Reaction To Nana Patekar's Exit
Reacting to the incident, filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj said, "In a class, we've often had someone who bullies other kids, but also entertains, and yet everyone wants to be around him. So, Nana is that person. Our friendship is of 27 years old, but we're working for the first time together."
He further added, "If he were here, it would've been fun. But in his signature style, he said, 'Mujhe ek gaanta wait karaya, main jaa raha hoon'. We didn't say anything because this is what makes him Nana Patekar."
