Actor Nana Patekar was inundated with doting fans when he arrived at the registrar's office for the registration of his new firm. Patekar has established an organisation which will provide aid to farmers overcome by drought conditions.
According to ABP Majha, the adulation was not limited to Patekar's stardom. While many fans clicked selfies with Patekar, several also offered donations for the cause. In fact, there was a flood of contributions after the officials realised why Nana Patekar had arrived there.
In particular, a tea seller working in the area offered Rs 2000 for the cause. The 'Naam Foundation' has now been set up for donating money to drought affected farmers. It is the brainchild of Nana Patekar and fellow Marathi actor Makrand Anaspure.
A bank account has also been opened with State Bank of India where people can deposit money for the cause. The account number, IFSC code and RIFT code have been provided.
Current Account Number: 35226127148
IFSC Code No: SBIN 0006319
Swift Code No: SBININBB238
Meanwhile, Patekar announced that the money collected by Naam Foundation would also be used to provide gainful employment to youth in villages facing drought.
