Bollywood Actor, Nana Patekar visited Raj Thackeray at Thackeray's
Shivaji park residence on Thursday and spent an hour with
him. There is speculation that Nana patekar who has a large
following in Maharashtra may join the Shiv Sena.
Patekar has in the past locked horns with Shiv Sena chief
Bal Thackeray when the latter criticised noted Marathi humourist
and writer P L Deshpande.
If Nana joins the Sena, it will be a boost for them in the
State. Nana has admitted meeting Raj Thackeray but said they
did not discuss politics. Nana said he supports all those
who do good work.
Yesterday a few theatre personalities and a number of Sena
activists from western Maharashtra visited Raj Thackeray.
Thackeray will begin his tour of Maharashtra in January.
He is expected to formally announce the new party's name and
symbol shortly.
