Veteran actor Nana Patekar was offered a role in Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio-starrer 바카라Body Of Lies바카라. However, he declined it because he did not like the role that was offered to him. 

바카라Body of Lies' is a 2008 American spy action thriller film directed and produced by Ridley Scott starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in the lead roles. 

Set in the Middle East, it follows the attempts of the CIA and the GID of Jordan to catch "al-Saleem", a terrorist. Frustrated by their target's elusiveness, differences in their approaches strain relations between a CIA operative, his superior, and the head of Jordanian Intelligence.

Asked in a media chat why he said no to Hollywood movies even though offers kept coming his way, Nana said: 바카라It was because I did not have confidence about delivering the dialogues in English.  I don바카라t have that fluency. I could have memorised that and done that anyway." 

바카라But the roles that were offered, I did not like them. I can't play a terrorist. People who follow my work or love me see me playing that I wouldn바카라t like. It was in Leonardo DiCaprio바카라s film 바카라Body Of Lies바카라...바카라

He then went on to speak about a film titled 바카라The Pool바카라, which was released in 2007.  The story revolves around a young janitor working at a hotel in the port city of Panjim, who sees from his perch in a mango tree a luxuriant garden and shimmering pool hidden behind a wall. In making whatever efforts he can to better himself, Venkatesh offers his services to the wealthy owner of the home. Not content to simply dream about a different life, Venkatesh is inquisitive about the home's inhabitants and his curiosity changes the shape of his future.

바카라I had done a film called The Pool, they did the shooting. They knew Anurag Kashyap and they said they wanted a face like this for the actor바카라 So he showed me my face바카라 Then that person came to meet and asked me if I would do바카라 I asked how many days of shoot to which he said 7-8 days. I said yes and forgot about it. They were waiting바카라바카라

He added: 바카라Then we shot the film in 10 days. They did not have the money to pay. I said it바카라s okay. This film worked. It was all hand held바카라 That film won the Best Critic Award at the Sundance Film Festival바카라바카라

Nana will next be seen in Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri바카라s 바카라The Vaccine War바카라. The film is based on India's battle against Covid-19, and the efforts the medical department took to overcome the global crisis.
