Nana Patekar and Paresh Rawal have worked together in six films, including the 2007 superhit Welcome.

The two have teamed up yet again in the family entertainer's second instalment, Firoz A Nadiadwallah'sWelcome Back. Directed by Anees Bazmee, the film also stars John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Shruti Haasan, Naseeruddin Shah and Dimple Kapadia.

Nana and Paresh share a great equation. Besides movies, they also share a common interest in theatre. The two also enjoy speaking to each other in Marathi and when they were together on the set ofWelcome Back, people around were treated to their fun conversations in Marathi.


Director Bazmee says, "Marathi is Nana's mother tongue, Paresh too speaks the language fluently.Not only would they talk to each other in it, they would also seek out crew members with whom they could speak to in the language. Shooting for this film was like a homecoming for a lot of the cast, as they were familiar with one another, having shot together before for the first part."
