After a hiatus of two decades, Anant Nag is back on the silver screen playing a major role in Janleva 555 that hits the screens on 19 October (2012).
Says Sandeep who was the associate director of the Anant-starrer Kannada film <em>Manasella Neene</em>, “It’s an honour to have him in my debut Hindi directorial venture. When I narrated the subject to him, he immediately agreed upon it. Actually it’s very difficult to convince an actor of his caliber because he doesn’t accept anything. Fortunately, he loved the concept and immediately gave his nod,”

After a hiatus of two decades, Anant Nag is back on the silver screen playing a major role in Janleva 555 that hits the screens on 19 October (2012).
Says Sandeep who was the associate director of the Anant-starrer Kannada film Manasella Neene, “It’s an honour to have him in my debut Hindi directorial venture. When I narrated the subject to him, he immediately agreed upon it. Actually it’s very difficult to convince an actor of his caliber because he doesn’t accept anything. Fortunately, he loved the concept and immediately gave his nod,”
Confirming the same, Nag’s spokesperson said, “Anant agreed to play the character of a holistic healer in this film because he felt that the role was full-fledged and challenging. He’s a stickler for perfection. During the shoot, although he was superb in the first take itself though he repeatedly requested two more takes to bring a bit of perfection.”
Nag, who started his acting career with Shyam Benegal’s National Award-winning films like Ankur, Bhumika and Manthan, had done a small role in Mani Ratnam’s Yuva. He also did a Marathi film Anahat directed by Amol Palekar and an English film Stumble.
Janleva 555 also stars Kalpna Pandit, Cliff Janke, Rajeev, Willy Manchanda, Shona Chabra, Mann Hora, Anant Joshi and Vaseem. Incidentally, yesteryear actress Vyjantimala makes a brief appearance in the film.
