Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor in Welcome
Bollywood actor Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor`s pairing of Uday bhai and Majnu bhai in the `Welcome` franchise was much loved by fans and has become a part of pop culture. While it is difficult to imagine the franchise without the duo, the upcoming installment will sadly not feature them. The upcoming multi-starrer will see the likes of Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Suneil Shetty, Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, Aftab Shivdasani, Disha Patani, and many more but not the iconic duo played by Anil and Nana. Recently, in an interview with The Lallantop, Patekar revealed why he and Anil turned down the upcoming film from the franchise.
Patekar credited the success of the 2007 comedy to its director Anees Bazmee. He said that he was initially skeptical of playing the role of Uday bhai and had asked Anees to swear on his mother that the role would suit him. "But it wouldn`t have been complete if Anil and I weren`t doing it together. If Anil and I are there, then only Welcome is possible. If you remove me, then he alone can`t make Welcome and vice-versa,” Nana reasoned.
