Lokmat – Pune has reported that the funeral of actor Nana Patekar will be held at his farmhouse in Donje, Pune district, and that police security has been increased in anticipation of visitors. The report also says that arrangements are being made for public viewing of his body after it is brought to Pune. The claims have not been independently confirmed in the supplied material.
According to the report, Patekar died in Goa at the age of 75 after suffering a heart attack. It says the funeral is expected to take place at his Donje farmhouse in accordance with his wishes. The report further states that the Maharashtra government has decided to conduct the funeral with state honours in recognition of his contribution.
The report attributes the preparations to the local administration and says officials and staff from various government departments have been deployed at the site. The Public Works Department and other relevant agencies are reportedly undertaking arrangements for the ceremony and the expected gathering.
Lokmat – Pune also reports that security has been strengthened in Donje because a large number of fans, citizens and members of the film industry may attend the funeral. Pune Rural Police are said to be preparing for crowd management and law-and-order requirements. The report mentions that special attention is being given to the possible presence of VIPs, although it says police have not confirmed which individuals are expected to attend.
Traffic management is another reported concern. According to the article, the administration is preparing measures to prevent congestion caused by visitors and vehicles travelling to the funeral site. The timing of the ceremony is expected to be finalised after the body reaches Pune and depending on the situation on the ground. The report says the funeral is expected on Thursday evening, while also noting that the timing could change.
If confirmed, the arrangements would place local authorities responsible for coordinating public access, police security, traffic movement and government protocol at a private property in a semi-rural area. Such arrangements can require coordination between police, civic and public works agencies, particularly when a high-profile funeral is expected to draw large crowds. The supplied report, however, does not provide an official police statement, government notification, hospital confirmation or named administrative source establishing the central claims.
Nana Patekar is widely known for his work in Marathi and Hindi cinema, theatre and social initiatives. Lokmat – Pune says his death has prompted mourning across the film industry and describes him as an actor remembered for his distinctive performances and dialogue delivery. These biographical references do not independently establish the reported death or funeral arrangements.
