A Bollywood’s Old-Timer Steals the Show from the Youngsters in Spaghetti Western Rom-Com

In an exclusive interview conducted by PF/3M News, the actors of Housefull 5 were expected to share their opinions on the upcoming comedy. But it was the senior actor, Nana Patekar, who made a comeback with a full swing in the film industry, and won hearts of fans. The soon-to-be-release trailer got launched and it was a crowded that it could not go online without the audience getting hold of it first. The event was a murder mystery party that took place on a yacht. The tag has now been deleted through the editor panel of this article, not the front length. It had become the artwork for their main website through happenchance. The situation has been described in detail below. There were many highlights, particularly Patekar’s unexpected dance and comic skills.

But loved the dance as many may be his most renowned film role. The killer dance is the reason why the trailer went viral a few minutes after the official release, and the razor-sharp comic timing described by him was also not a small factor.

“Speak Hindi, I Don’t Understand English”: Nana’s Viral Moment

The moment that got people’s attention happened in a press conference that was not only well lit but also had the right moments for reporters to start firing questions and moving from place to place. When a reporter started with the questions in English, being cool as cucumber but also funny, Nana Patekar came to the point: “Hindi bolna, English samajh nahi aati.” The crowd burst into laughter, and social media quickly turned the quote into memes, reels, and fan edits. He got followed by a lot of fans who admired how the star displayed his true nature during the interview and his slightly negative dig at today’s publicity stunt vehicle in the undulating corner of a film’s balance.

Is This the Biggest Comeback of the Year?

Nana Patekar, who used to be famous for his hard and very serious characters in movies such as Krantiveer and Ab Tak Chhappan, had been a missing name in Hindi cinema for several years. His participation in the Marathi film Ole Aale in 2024 was a kind of return, but it was not until Housefull 5 that he really made his comeback to Bollywood. And what a big one it is indeed.

In the trailer, one can clearly see him engaging in a funny dance-off, saying jokes that no one else is capable of coping with. People are guessing that Patekar might be responsible for the entire Housefull franchise revival and doing it all by himself.

Social Media Reacts: “Nana Sir Is the Moment!”

This is what the fans have to say online:

• “This is not Housefull 5, this is Nana Patekar 1!”
• “Bollywood is back—because Nana Patekar is back.”

In such a short period as a mere 24 hours, the trailer has gone beyond 12 million views on YouTube, with Patekar’s segments being deemed the most amusing and the most watched. Hashtags like #NanaPatekarReturns and #Housefull5Trailer have become all the rage in India and the UAE.

Streaming Success and Personal Life: What Else is Nana Up To?

At the beginning of the year, his latest movie Vanvaas was shown on ZEE5 and it was met with rather lukewarm reactions. Even though the film couldn’t find its way to the critical list of successes, Patekar’s masterful performance was highly acclaimed by the audience.

On the other hand, his wife Neelakanti Patekar, a National Award-winning Marathi actress, has chosen the quite opposite course by getting back to the industry with her role in the film Chhaava, which is led by Vicky Kaushal.

Controversy Behind, Spotlight Ahead

In March 2025, Patekar was declared innocent by a Mumbai court. The court case was about sexual harassment from 2018 to 2025 that Patekar won, and the case received a dismissal because of the lack of evidence and the expiration of the statute of limitations. While this case had already affected his career for more than three years, the recent verdict is seen as the path to the complete recovery of his situation.

What’s Next for Nana Patekar?

Housefull 5’s official release date might be June 6, 2025, but sources claim that Nana Patekar is on board for two more films. Among those, it will be a film from a prominent South Indian director in the thriller genre.

The only thing that is certain is that Nana Patekar is right at the forefront now.

A Comeback That’s More Than Just Nostalgia

Nana’s coming back is not just making a comeback; it’s a lot more than that. He is a person who champions the cause of social issues and has always done so. He has not only been in the film business for a long time but also been an active participant in social work.

Should the Housefull 5 preview cause a stir in the online world, all the hype will be converted to reality on June 6. Is it possible, for Nana Patekar, to leverage the wave of interest to cash in at the box office?

We will see.
