What Linguswamy and Vikram couldn't accomplish, acclaimed director Bharatiraaja has made possible- bringing Nana Patekar to Tamil films.

'Bheema' is now ready to be released and the film's music is all set to rule the charts in Tamil. In another few days, the Telugu version too will make its way to the music store. The director was very keen on bringing in Nana Patekar in to play the villain role. But, in spite of lot of attempts, the actor refused.

Finally, the official reason given was that they couldn't get him to agree on the salary and on callsheets.

But it looks as if the actor had no salary or callsheet qualms about accepting a film with a relatively less popular cast. 'Bommalaatam' is the name of the film. Nana Patekar is playing the role of a protagonist, a film director. 'Action King' Arjun is also starring in an important role. The film's shooting has almost ended. Post production works are now on.
