Nana Patekar, Amitabh Bachchan Mehul Kumar made a couple of films with Nana Patekar (TIRANGAA, KRANTIVEER, KOHRAM).This guru of Abbas-Mustan (yes, the director duo assisted Mehulbhai for couple of years before they turned independent) has also made a few films with Amitabh Bachchan. Now Mehul is making the sequel to KRANTIVEER, called KRANTIVEER - THE REVOLUTION.Why did he opt for new names this time? "Because the subject deals with youth.
