Pankaj Tripathi told Nana Patekar that he was part of Kaala because of him and Rajinikanth. Nana told Pankaj that he was already a big actor.
Why Nana Patekar told Nana Patekar he would beat him
Nana said he was surprised on seeing Pankaj doing the blink-and-miss role. He said, “Kaala naam ki film kar raha tha Rajinikanth anna ke saath. Pankaj Tripathi ek bahut chhota sa, koi police officer ka role kar raha tha. Maine dekha aur maine kaha, ‘Pankaj, tu yahan kya kar raha hai (We were doing a film called Kaala with Rajinikanth anna. Pankaj Tripathi was playing a very small role, something like a police officer. I saw him and asked, ‘Pankaj, what are you doing here)?'”
“To kehta hai, ‘Ek chhota sa role hai.’ Maine kaha, ‘Tu aisa role kyun karta hai?’ To kehta, ‘Nahi, aap hai, anna hai, aap logo ke saath kaam karna tha.’ Maine kaha, ‘Tu bahut bada actor hai. Hamare saath kaam karke tu bada nahi hoga, tu pehle se hi bada hai. Dobara kabhi aise role kiye na, main maaroonga tujhe ( He said, ‘It’s a small role.’ I asked him, ‘Why are you doing such roles?’ He replied, ‘No, you are here, anna is here… I wanted to work with you people.’ I told him, ‘You are a very big actor. You won’t become big by working with us — you are already big. If you ever take such roles again, I’ll beat you’),” he added.
