Says Sandeep Malani, director of Janeva 555, who had worked with the veteran actor in Kannada film Manasella Neene a few years ago, “I never thought Anant Nag would agree to act in my film. I took a chance and succeeded. It was a huge surprise for me that he was okay playing the character of professor Sinha, a holistic person, in the film.”
