Nana Patekar On Not Being Cast In Welcome 3: "Hum Bahut Puraane Ho Gaye Hain"

Nana Patekar is not a part of Welcome 3

Fans have been expressing disappointment ever since they learned about Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor's absence from the third instalment of the popular comedy franchise Welcome. On Tuesday, Nana Patekar broke his silence on not doing Welcome 3 at the trailer launch of his film 'The Vaccine War' in Mumbai.

"I am not a part of it, maybe they think hum bahut puraane ho gaye hai (I have become outdated)," Nana Patekar said when he asked why he is not a part of Welcome 3.

Pointing at director Vivek Agnihotri, who shared the stage with the actor, he said, "He doesn't think I have become so old, so he cast me in his film. It's that simple."
