Back in 2018, actor Tanushree Dutta had filed a complaint against Nana Patekar, claiming that he had allegedly touched her inappropriately while shooting for a song-and-dance sequence on March 26, 2008, on the sets of the film Horn OK Please.

Tanushree's complaint released a wave of what came to be known as India's MeToo movement

Mumbai Police later filed a B-summary report in a metropolitan magistrate court at Andheri, seeking to close the case, claiming that there is no evidence to substantiate the complaint. The police also claimed that Tanushree’s allegations against Nana were “false and revengeful in nature”.

Nana Patekar is known for films such as Khamoshi, Ab Tak Chhappan, Welcome and others.
