Big B's big surprise for Nana Patekar

In an industry where one-upmanship comes naturally to stars, here's something Amitabh Bachchan did that impressed Nana Patekar beyond words. After seeing a rough cut of Ram Gopal Varma's next on the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks, AB sent a large bouquet of flowers to Nana Patekar who stars in the film.

A source says, "Bachchan booked a big bunch of flowers for his former co-star Nana and sent it across. Nana was stunned at Big B's gesture." The senior actor plays a cop in the film.

Nana says, "I was very surprised and happy when I got his flowers. There were so many flowers that I was almost hidden behind them. It is like getting over a 100 awards," adds the actor.

What Big B wrote on his blog
"RGV shows me a rough cut of his latest 'Attacks of 26/11' ... stunned, shocked, angered... but choked with tears. Nana Patekar is brilliant... such restraint and maturity in his performance..."
