Quotes

Sham Kaushal

Action director and friend of Nana Patekar.

“Never thought these photos taken on 21/09/26 at his Pune farmhouse during Ganpati Puja, 17 days ago would be my last photos with him. A friend, a brother who not only gave me my first Hindi film, Prahaar, as an Action Director but stood by me like a rock when my chances of survival were low and I needed him most.”
