Veteran actor Jackie Shroff has been giving several iconic performances from the past four decades and still continues to do the same. The actor is known for his bindass attitude and versatility.
In a recent interview, Jackie discussed about the kind of roles he wants to do and also shared that he does not differentiate between the size of the roles. In reference to this, he gave an example of his famous character Chhunnilal from the film Devdas.
Talking to Filmfare regarding what kind of roles the actor is looking forward to, Jackie said, “I really have no idea. The industry has experimented with me a lot because filmmakers know that I don’t say no to roles. I never thought of differentiating between lead roles and smaller roles. For example, in Devdas, the titular role is played by Shah Rukh Khan. But I had a fantastic role in it as Chunnilal. In Mission Kashmir, Sanjay Dutt and Hrithik Roshan were both heroes and I was the bad guy with only seven scenes.”
“So, I’ve been experimenting all the time. It never bothered me that if I don’t sing a song, I’m not a hero anymore. I feel like if I’m a part of a film, that’s more important. Like the chair you’re sitting on, if you cut one leg the whole thing falls. So, you have to be that one leg. That’s the important part. The value that you add is important,” he further added.
On the professional front, Jackie Shroff was last seen in Phone Bhoot, starring Katrina Kaif, Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ishaan Khatter. He will next be seen in Baap, starring alongside Mithun Chakraborty, Sunny Deol, and Sanjay Dutt.
