Now Nana Patekar finally responded on this matter and he clarified that it was a sequence in the movie which they had rehearsed once and when the boy came, he (Nana) thought that it was the second sequence so he acted in this manner. Nana further added that he had no idea that the boy was not a crew member but when he realized that, he looked for the boy but he was not there. Nana Patekar also added that he has never said no for a photo to anyone and whatever happened, it happened by mistake and he also apologized for it.
