Back in the early 90’s, Nana had dubbed for the fearsome tiger in the animated series, ‘Jungle Book: The Adventures of Mowgli’ that was aired on Doordarshan.

Nana says, “The first time I had played the role years back and I wish to be young again. That time, the movie was released by NFDC and Ravi Malik asked me whether I would play a part in the movie and I Simply said yes, why not? Since, I did not have enough money that time, it did play a very important role. I was rewarded with some Rs 3000 to 5000. But this time, money wasn’t an issue, I just wanted to reminisce my good old days. I am happy about it.”
