Maniesh Paul, an actor and television presenter, is the host of a well-liked podcast that explores the essence of its guests to reach a broad audience. On a recent edition of The Maniesh Paul Podcast, Eknath Shinde, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, was the special guest.

In their lively exchange, CM Eknath Shinde expressed his admiration for Anil Kapoor’s performance as “Nayak.”

In answer to a question about whether the movie influenced him or whether he had ever dreamed of being a chief minister as a youngster, the CM thoughtfully pointed out the differences between real life and movies. “Reality reality hai, film film hai aur kuch bhi nahi,” he said. His path began with grassroots activism in the political and social spheres. He emphasized his devotion to hard work and goal-oriented determination, stressing that success is the result of persistent effort and dedication to one’s objectives.

CM Shinde applauded the movie’s proactive attitude and made a connection between Anil Kapoor’s character in “Nayak” and his hands-on leadership style. Maniesh Paul commended the Chief Minister for taking a proactive stance in addressing issues like Mumbai’s waterlogging, which produced notable results.

Upon its debut in 2001, Anil Kapoor’s film “Nayak” gained significant popularity. Over time, Anil Kapoor fans have created a cult following for the movie. According to the most current rumour, Milan Luthria will be directing Siddharth Anand’s planned sequel to the movie.

“Nayak 2 will be produced by Siddharth and Mamta Anand under their banner, Marflix Pictures,” a source close to the process informed Pinkvilla. Similar to the first movie, this one will also be directed by Milan Luthria and will be a large-scale commercial entertainment piece with a political theme. The writers have crafted a compelling storyline that logically progresses towards a Nayak sequel while subtly hinting at a vigilante movie.
“Siddarth Anand is eager to start the path of creating unique vigilante-based action entertainment now that he has reunited with writer-director Jodi from Milan and Rajat together for Nayak 2. Aside from the action scenes, Nayak 2 is a drama- and dialogue-heavy movie, and casting is already begun. A prominent A-Lister is anticipated to join the movie, the insider said.
