The Pool had won a prize at the Sundance Film Festival and would have been another great achievement for Nana Patekar’s longstanding career in the film industry. Unfortunately, he turned the role down due to his personal convictions.

Anurag Khashyap, during an interview with Lallantop, revealed that the real reason behind Nana’s refusal. He refused the role as it required him to play a terrorist and he was not comfortable with it. Despite the offer, he chose to not take up the role.
