Nana Patekar agreed to act in the upcoming Tamil film, Kaala, only because of Rajinikanth. Patekar says while he was dubbing for the movie, Rajini praised his performance. "He said that no one was going to look at him. It was a sweet gesture. When he narrated the role to me, I told him that I wouldn't do the movie because I wasn't sure about playing an antagonist. But I did it only for him," says Patekar.
