Nana Patekar
In an industry dominated by Punjabi heros, Nana Patekar has made a name for himself mostly as an average middle class Maharashtrian, who has been wronged by people of higher strata. Born as Vishwanath Patekar in 1951 in Murud-Janjira, Maharashtra, Nana started out acting in amateur theatre.
After playing a role of the common man affected by political hypocrisy and social injustice in 'Ankush', Nana  Patekar came with a bang on the Silver Screen. The strict armyman of 'Prahar', overpossessive husband of 'Agnisakshi', carefree street man-turned-crusader of 'Krantiveer' and psychotic don Anna of'Parinda' made Nana Patekar a household name.
His performance in 'Krantiveer' won him the National Award. 'Yashwant', a movie dwelling on criminal-politician nexus, portrayed Nana as a hard-hitting police officer out to destroy corrupt elements from the society.
Nana's typical style of talking and moving his eyes in slow motion adds another dimension to his screen presence.
