After newcomer Amitabh Dayal in N Chandra's Kagaar: The Edge, it is Nana Patekar's turn to play encounter specialist.

In a recent interview to rediff.com, Nana says, "My role is about a human being who happens to be a cop. He is a simple man. He does his job honestly just like a banker or a shopkeeper. He is a husband, a normal human being."

Ab Tak Chhappan is Nana's third film with Ram Gopal Varma. The two earlier worked in Bhoot and Darna Mana Hai. The actor is even directing a film for the prolific filmmaker.
