/> Nana has never worked so hard and so much.

And so what if his speed was somewhat stymied recently when he injured his leg.

"But now I'm ready work again, though nothing strenuous to start with. I'll first finish my three days' work for Rakesh Sarang's Horn Ok Please.

Those poor guys have been waiting patiently for me to recover so they could complete their work. Bahut talented bachche hain. Director Rakesh Sarang, the new boy Muzammil and the girl Rimii Sen. And that tv actor Asgar Ali.... What talent he has!

In our industry there's no dearth of talent. And I'm proud to be part of it. My God! 35 years have just passed by! I started with Muzaffar Ali's Gaman. But even before that I did bit parts here and there. Kya kya nahin kiya hai humnein."

Including slapstick in the new blockbuster Welcome. The film has skyrocketed Nana's market price again, bringing it to the level that Nana used to command in his heydays during Karntiveer and Tirangaa.

"I'm glad the film has worked. As far as I'm concerned I'm done with a project after I dub and promote it. It was a pleasure doing something in that satirical sur. All of us—director Anees Bazmi, Anil Kapoor, Akshay, Mallika and me—we worked hard. "

Nana celebrated his 54th birthday recently.

"Arrey what birthday?" he brushes of the very special day as just another day. "For me celebrations are when everyone you love is with you. My mother and son came to my home in Pune and we had a a wonderful time. I spent the whole day in my farm. I like to be with just a few people who matter."

Nana is super-excited about his next release Horn Ok Please. "It's a very unique comedy. And I've enjoyed this experience tremendously.

I've also said yes to Satish Kaushik for another unique project called Lal Bihari Mritak, a true-life story of a man who had to run from pillar to post to prove he was alive. I need to work out my dates with Satish."

Yes, that's how busy Nana is these days.
