"It's an amazing film. By the time I could complete the script, I had decided I wanted to be in it. Subsequently, what caught me by complete surprise was the deft handling of the subject material by Rakesh Sarang [the director of ‘Horn Ok Pleassss’]. He is an amazing storyteller. Also, most directors feel offended when you point out a flaw, but Rakesh has the ability to strip himself naked and rectify those flaws," Nana enthuses.

Nana shares an emotional bond with Rakesh Sarang. "His father gave me my first paycheck. It's something I can never forget. Rakesh was keen to make a film with me for a long time, but the pre-condition was that he ought to get the right script. Much later, he hit upon this brilliant story of a truck driver. The rest is history," Nana reveals.

After ‘Horn Ok Pleassss’, Nana will be seen in ‘Paathshaala’, again with a new director -- Milind Ukey. "If they [new directors] have great stories to tell, why shouldn't I encourage them? Weren't N. Chandra [‘Ankush’], Sanjay Leela Bhansali [‘Khamoshi’] and even Vidhu Vinod Chopra [‘Parinda’] new at a point of time?" he counter questions.
