The Nana Patekar ignoring meme originates from the 2007 Bollywood movie Welcome. In the comedy sequence, Uday Shetty (the character played by Nana Patekar) signals Majnu Bhai (the character played by Anil Kapoor) not to risk their own lives for saving Lucky Xaka, RDX’s son (the character played by Shereveer Vakil). The popular use of Nana Patekar ignoring meme is to turn a blind eye to something which is/has happened/happening.
