Nana Patekar clarified his position after a video went viral in which he was seen slapping a man, who attempted to click a selfie with him. Nana Patekar shared a video on Instagram and narrated the entire incident in minute detail. Nana Patekar can be heard saying in the video, "Dekhiye, ek video viral ho raha hai jaha maine ek bacche ko mara hai. Hala ke ye sequence hamare ek film ka hissa hai. Humne ek rehearsal kar di thi. Ek piche se banda aake bolta hai, 'Ye bura topi bechni ha?' Maine hat pehna hua hai. Mein use marta hu. Mein kehta hu, 'Badtameezi bandh karo, tameez se pesh aao. Ye tarika nehi hai.' Aur woh bhag jata hai. Ek rehearsal kar chuke the. Director ne kaha aur ek bar karni hai. Hum suru hi kar ne wale the ke itne me ye baccha jo video me hai andar aa gaya (A video went viral in which I slapped a young man. However, it's a sequence of a film I am shooting. We have done the rehearsal once. In the sequence, a young man coming from the back, will say, 'Hey, old man, will you sell your hat?' You can see in the video I am wearing a hat. After his dialogues, I will slap him and say 'Behave yourself. It's not the right way of talking.' Then he runs away. The director wanted us to rehearse it for one more time. I was about to begin and, in the meantime, this man (seen in the video) came in front of me)."
