GenZ reacts to Nana Patekar’s Krantiveer: An angry young man hero with a weak narrative would never work today | Bollywood News

I was introduced to Nana Patekar as an actor with his iconic ‘Control Uday’ from Welcome (2007). On the other end of the spectrum were his brilliant Parinda, Prahaar and Ab Tak Chhappan. I had no idea that there was another Nana Patekar somewhere there, the one who starred in Krantiveer (1994). On his birthday, I, a GenZ, watched the action-thriller, which also stars Raaj Kumar and Dimple Kapadia. While Patekar’s performance was a winner in my eyes, the movie — the year’s highest grosser — didn’t work for me. Here’s my GenZ review of Krantiveer. There’s no doubt that the angry man image suits Nana Patekar, but his character Pratap Narayan Tilak isn’t what our generation is used to watching. We have more flawed angry heroes, be it Ganesh Gaitonde in Sacred Games or Varun Dhawan in Badlapur. While his emotional intensity is important for the film, which also won him a National Award for his performance, his outbursts felt tiring and trite after a while. Pratap starts as a textbook cynic, an apathetic …

Randeep Hooda wished to collaborate with Ram Gopal Varma after he saw the trailer of the filmmaker’s 2002 film Company. “He is the director I can work with,” Randeep told himself. Three years later, the actor’s dream came true, and he got the chance to join forces with the legendary filmmaker, playing the lead role in D (2005) that was penned and co-produced by RGV. But before casting Randeep in D, helmed by Vishram Sawant, RGV had approached the actor to play a small role in his production venture Ab Tak Chhappan (2004), starring Nana Patekar. Recalling the same, Randeep told Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, “After my theatre play, I was called by RGV. He wanted me to play a young officer’s role in Ab Tak Chhappan. When they asked me about it, I refused. I said, ‘I have come here to play Nana Patekar’s role. I am not doing this role.’ They asked me to meet RGV. I met him. He told me, ‘I love your attitude. Show me your body.’ He …
