It is a month since Jackie Shroff turned 64. And it’s been a hectic time for Jackie.
“I’ve never been busier,” he tells me from the sets of his new film Bhoot Police. It is his son Tiger’s birthday when we speak. “I think I’m doing more films right now than my son.That’s because Tiger chooses to do less films, ” the proud father chuckles.
Jackie’s voice wells up with pride when I tell him success has not changed Tiger. “All credit must go to his grandmother and mother. They brought him with the right values, while I was working round-the-clock to give my family a comfortable life.The kids has got a good head on his shoulder.”
Jackie has never done so much work. “ The month since my birthday (on February 1) has been hectic. I shot for a film in Mathura with Pratik Gandhi, the actor from Scam, called Atitho Bhoot Bhava and I also shot for Ahmed Khan’s Om with Aditya Roy Kapur. In addition Rohit Shetty’s Sooryvanshi with Akshay Kumar, Bhai with Salman and a film called Jugnu are ready.”
Isn’t Jackie overdoing it? “Not at all! These are all well-defined interesting roles.Otherwise they wouldn’t have come to me with these offers. I’m the happiest when I’m working.”
