Buzz is that actor Nana Patekar is going to play Rakesh Maria in Ram Gopal Varma's film based on the 26/11 attacks in Mumbai. Nana is making a comeback of sorts with RGV in the Ab Tak Chhappan sequel. For those who don't know, Nana's role in the 2004 film Ab Tak Chhappan was loosely based on encounter specialist Daya Nayak.
Rakesh Maria was in charge of leading the investigations of the November 2008 Mumbai attacks. Sources claim that RGV had also approached Sanjay Dutt and Kamal Haasan for the same role.
