Nana Patekar’s death was reported on October 8, 2026, the date of the publications consulted, and prompted condolences from figures in politics and the film industry. However, the sources do not establish the exact date of his death.

Hindustan Times reports that Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences over Patekar’s death in a message posted on X.

According to Hindustan Times, Modi wrote that the actor’s death would leave a deep void in Hindi and Marathi cinema.

The New Indian Express report describes the condolences expressed by political figures and members of the film world following Patekar’s death.

In the headline of its report, the same publication recalls a five-decade career and a history of commitment to social work.

Hindustan Times also characterizes Patekar as a versatile presence and associates him with Hindi and Marathi cinema.

The picture that emerges from the two publications is one of shared mourning across politics and the film industry, although the available material does not provide a complete list of the people who paid tribute.

The information examined therefore confirms the report of the death published on October 8, but does not specify the exact date on which Patekar died.
