I am impressed with 2 Packs of Nana Patekar

Muzamil, his co star, was astonished to see 2 packs and a very well built Nana. Muzamil Ibrahim, who has a great body himself, says, "It was very impressive. Given his age, he has maintained very well. We the younger generation try to make 6 packs and very few succeed but look at Nana he's got a physic which is even better than few of us.

Produced by Abdul Samee Siddiqui under the banner of Sunrise Pictures Pvt Ltd, in association with Sarang films and directed by P Rakesh Sarang, film Horn Ok pleassss…… stars Nana Patekar, Rimi Sen, Muzamil Ibrahim, Ali Asgar, Shaurya Chauhan, Nirmiti Sawant, Mukesh Tiwari, Vrijesh Hirji, Rakhi Sawan
