Nana Patekar said in the video message, “A video is going viral in which I have hit a child, although this sequence is from our film. We had to do a rehearsal. Someone from behind says, this old man has to sell his hat. I was wearing a hat. When he comes, I hit him. I say don’t be rude. Be polite. This is not the way and he runs away.”
The actor further said, “The director asked us to do one more rehearsal and said, start it Nana ji. Meanwhile, this child comes. We thought he was the child of our team and according to the scene, we killed him. Told him That don’t misbehave. Get out of here. Later we found out that the kid is not a part of our team. Then we called him, but he ran away. His video might have been shot by one of his friends. We never heard from anyone. Hasn’t been forbidden to take photos.”

I don’t kill anyone like that. Till date we have not done this. Everyone loves us so much and we will not treat them like this. We wanted to apologize. Tried to find him but could not find him. Got slapped unnecessarily. Must have run away in fear.
