Nana Patekar critiques Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘Animal’; ‘Only Anil Kapoor’s performance was restrained’
Nana Patekar shares his review of Ranbir Kapoor's 'Animal.' Notably, he is all-praises for Anil Kapoor, his co-star from ‘Welcome.’
Actor Nana Patekar, who has been accused of sexually harassing co-actor Tanushree Dutta at a film set a decade ago, has now responded to the allegations.
The media surrounded Patekar as he arrived at the airport from Jodhpur on 6 October. The actor was bombarded with questions about Tanushree’s accusation as well as her statement that her voice was suppressed by those in power when the incident happened.
“10 saal pehle jawaab de chuka hun… Jo jhooth hai woh jhooth hi hai (I have answered this 10 years ago. What is a lie is a lie),” Nana replied.

Earlier on Saturday, the paparazzi tried to get Nana to answer, but he pushed aside the mics and avoided questions. He made his way straight inside the airport without saying a word, according to reports.
Patekar will reportedly hold a press conference in Mumbai in a day or two to address the issue.
In 2008, at a press conference to address the “indecent behaviour” allegation by Tanushree, Nana had said he was highly surprised at the charges by the actress, who he said was “my daughter’s age”.
Last month, Tanushree came in front of the media and accused the actor of harassing her on the sets of their 2008 film Horn Ok Pleassss.
Meanwhile, Tanushree has also alleged that film director Vivek Agnihotri had asked her to “strip and dance” on the sets of Chocolate: Deep Secrets in 2005 to give a cue to actor Irrfan Khan, who she said stood up for her.
