Filmmaker Muzaffar Ali recalled spotting a 25-year-old Nana Patekar at a Marathi stage play in 1976, leading to his debut in Gaman. Ali described Nana as 'a Kalari sword—swift, precise and dangerous,' who also handled graphic design and publicity. He called Patekar's passing 'a vacuum difficult to fill.'
