You've seen Ranbir Kapoor give sterling performances in film after film. But Ranbir the Peace-maker is a new role he
adopted to bring Prakash Jha and Nana Patekar together after their very public fall-out.
Apparently Ranbir who got along like a house on fire with Nana during the shooting of Raajneeti in Bhopal didn't
quite relish the uneasy silence that prevailed between "two of my most favourite people".
He decided to end the cold
war between Nana and Prakash when on an impulse, he dialed Nana's number from Kong Kong when Ranbir , Arjun
Rampal, Manoj Bajpai and Prakash had gone for a Raajneeti event.
When Nana answered the phone Ranbir quickly handed over the phone to Prakash.
Says a source, "On Ranbir's urging, Prakash and Nana spoke when Parkash was in Hong Kong. That's how the ice
thawed between the two."
Nothing succeeds like success. After the public bickering and open display of hurt anger and resentment between
the two, Nana Patekar and Prakash Jha have sorted out their differences.
And now Nana is in constant touch enjoying the heady success of Raajneeti and sharing his joy with the director.
Prakash admits the cold war with Nana is over. "We are once again connected. Nana is delighted by the success
of Raajneeti and is keeping tabs on the film's progress. He didn't come for the Raajneeti celebration on Wednesday
night. But he called to say he wouldn't come because he never attends functions."
