Nana Patekar dies at 75 in Goa
Nana Patekar, the Indian actor known for intense performances in Hindi and Marathi cinema, has died at 75 in Goa. His son, Malhar, confirmed his death.
Patekar was found unconscious at his home in the early hours of Thursday and taken to hospital. Doctors tried continuous CPR for about 45 minutes but could not revive him, said Dr. Shekhar Salkar of Manipal Hospital.
Born Vishwanath Patekar, he made his film debut in Gaman in 1978. His breakthrough came with Parinda in 1989, in which he played the volatile gangster Anna.
The role brought Patekar a National Film Award and a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. He went on to win three National Film Awards and became a familiar presence in Hindi films and Marathi theatre.
Patekar received the Padma Shri in 2013 for his contribution to cinema and the arts. His work was marked by a forceful screen presence and a distinctive way of delivering dialogue.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to Patekar, praising his versatility and outspoken personality. Modi said the characters he portrayed would remain in the memory of generations.
Actor Akshay Kumar, who appeared with Patekar in Welcome, remembered him as a performer whose voice and intensity could command an audience’s attention.
