Naseeruddin Shah recently grabbed the limelight after he slammed some of the latest successful films mentioning of them to be driven by jingoism and false representation.

In response to the same, Nana Patekar who is currently gearing up for his upcoming release The Vaccine War, decided to comment over it. He said, "Did you ask Naseer what nationalism means to him? According to me, showing love for the nation is nationalism and it is not a bad thing. The kind of film Gadar is, it will have that kind of content and I have not seen The Kerala Story, so I cannot comment on that."

This was in response to the recent statement of Naseeruddin, in which he said, “What these people don’t realize is that what they are doing is very harmful. In fact, films like Kerala Story and Gadar 2, I haven’t seen them but I know what they are about, it’s disturbing that films like Kashmir Files are so massively popular whereas films made by Sudhir Mishra, Anubhav Sinha, and Hansal Mehta, who are trying to portray the truth of their times don’t get seen. But it’s important that these filmmakers don’t lose heart and continue telling stories.”
