WHAT! Anurag Kashyap REVEALS Nana Patekar Refused To Work With Leonardo DiCaprio; Claims Abhishek Bachchan Was Very ‘Brattish’
Anurag Kashyap makes a shocking revelation as he revealed Nana Patekar once refused to work with Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap lately has been busy promoting his next project ‘Almost Pyaar with DJ Mohabbat’ which hit theatres on 3rd February. During media interviews, Kashyap has been making some explosive revelations and in a new interview, he revealed veteran actor Nana Patekar once refused to work with Oscar-winning Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Yes, you read that right! Nana denied playing the role of a terrorist in Ridley Scott’s Body of Lies. Not just that, the director also revealed that Abhishek Bachchan was very ‘brattish’ at the begging of his career.
Speaking with Lallantop, the Gangs of Wasseypur actor said, “Ridley Scott emailed me. He wanted to cast Nana Patekar for body of Lies, for the role of Mark Strong. I went back to Nana Patekar. He asked about the role and refused to do the film since he was not ready to play a terrorist.” He also opened up about working with Junior Bachchan and stated he was very brattish during his initial stage.

“He’s a very hard-working person. He’s cultured, loves food. But he was very brattish in the beginning. He’d make fun of everything, not take things seriously. But people grow, and he grew. That Abhishek and the Abhishek I worked with on Manmarziyaan are two entirely different people," the filmmaker was quoted saying. Anurag went on to talk about megastar Amitabh Bachchan and praised him saying he takes criticism well.
Meanwhile, Kashyap recently made headlines after he confirmed that the third season of Sacred Games has been shelved. He also mentioned that while he wants to do more explosive stuff on OTT, he feels digital platforms don't have the courage nowadays following the Tandav controversy.
