Veteran actor Nana Patekar revealed in a September 2023 interview that he had already prepared for his own funeral, keeping 12 maunds of wood specifically for his cremation. During an interview with Aaj Tak while promoting The Vaccine War, the actor discussed the inevitability of death and his acceptance of it as a natural part of life.

Rather than being fearful of death, Nana described it as something to be embraced. He expressed that his final property was the wood he had prepared, which he said would accompany him to the afterlife. Nana's words reflected his belief that material possessions hold little significance in the end, with the wood representing the only property he would take with him.

He also emphasized the importance of using dry wood for cremation, explaining that using wet wood would lead to misunderstanding and tears at the moment of his death. Nana's dark humor about his own funeral added an unexpected twist to the otherwise serious conversation, highlighting his unique perspective on mortality that was both practical and philosophical.
