O’Romeo Trailer Launch Event: Nana Patekar Walks Out Of The Event
Senior actor Nana Patekar attended the O’Romeo trailer launch event in Mumbai but reportedly walked out after the lead actors arrived late. Nana reached the venue around 12 PM, while Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri arrived only at 1:30 PM, after launching the movie poster in nearby cinema. Frustrated after waiting for nearly an hour and a half, Nana chose to leave before the trailer launch.
Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri were held up at a poster launch event at a nearby cinema, which made them arrive late for the trailer event.
Reacting to Nana walking out of the event, one tweeted, "Very good. They should respect senior actors. They should not think they are the main lead so they can do whatever they want. Good decision by Nana Patekar." Another wrote, "Nana Patekar is from a generation that values time and discipline. Making a senior actor and veteran wait for 1.5 hours is sheer disrespect. If you give a time, stick to it. Good on him for walking out!"
Before leaving the venue, Nana was seen posing for the camera. He wore his signature kurta payjama to the event.
Director Vishal Bhardwaj addressed Nana Patekar walking out of the event, saying, "Agar wo hote to bhot acha, lekin wo apne signature style mein uthe, ki 1 ghanta mujhe wait karaya main ja raha hun." He added that they were not offended by his leaving, because they know, "This is what makes Nana, Nana Patekar."
