However, Nana Patekar’s screen journey hasn’t came to an end and his fans will still get to watch him on the big screen, even after his d*ath.
Five movies of the veteran actor, who was reported to have p@ssed aw@y on October 8, 2026, are ready but not yet released. These films are from different genres like horror-comedy, biopic, crime and romance. He was known for his strong acting and for doing many different types of roles. These upcoming films will give the audience one more chance to see his work. He will be seen as a priest in a crime drama and also in a romantic comedy, which shows his range as an actor.
Here are 5 upcoming films of Nana Patekar:
1. Eetha:
Directed by Laxman Utekar, it is based on the life of Vithabai Narayangaonkar, a famous folk artist from Maharashtra known for Tamasha and Lavani. Shraddha Kapoor is in the lead role, along with Nana Patekar, Randeep Hooda and Anant Joshi. Nana’s exact role is not known yet but his presence has made fans more excited for the film.
2. Shakti Shalini:
This is a horror-comedy directed by Aditya Sarpotdar and made by Maddock Films. The story is about Shakti, a normal woman who becomes the protector of Shalini, a revengeful spirit. It stars Aneet Padda and Vishal Jethwa and as per reports, Nana plays an occultist. It is said that he had finished shooting his part and wanted to see the final film before dubbing.
