Puri said during trailer and poster launch of the film 'Marathwada', 'People have made a contribution, in their personal capacity, like Nana Patekar , and there are others as well. Nana not just provided financial help, he even embraced the farmers and shed tears with them, consoled them.' Puri said that this help is like putting a drop into the ocean.
