My response No. 1 of 2: Those of the spectators who have seen Nana Patekar on Marathi stage (Hamidaabaichee Kothee and Mahasaagar, हमीदाबाईची कोठी आणि महासागर etc.) and also his recent Marathi pictures like "Pak Pak Pakaaka Pak" (पक पक पकाक पक) will agree with me that he will do such a good job that the great performances of Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani also will be overshadowed. Baakee sab bakwaas!

My response No. 2 of 2: The two "Munnabhai" movies became huge successes only because of the roles played by Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani. Munnabhai's role as played by Sanjay Dutt was a negative point in its success. He got undeserving credit just because he was a 'hero'!
Actually, to the best of my knowledge, Sanjay Dutt never got any "Best actor" award for his Munnabhai role or other roles!
Any ordinary and relatively unknown actor would have done better justice to that role.
