Jackie Shroff is in the Indian film industry for almost 40 years and has done more than 220 films. The actor is considered as a veteran who has done films in more than 11 different languages. He is one of the few mainstream veteran actors who has adapted himself to the modern way of filmmaking. Apart from films and television, he stepped into the world of web with a short film, Khujli, and gave an award-winning performance. The talented actor received rave reviews for his performance in the short film which is about a middle-aged couple rediscovering their sex lives. The actor won the Filmfare best actor award in the best short film category and despite delivering a power packed performance Jackie Shroff has credited his award to his director and co-star Neena Gupta .
Jackie Shroff shared, "I thought I was totally opposite the character that I was being asked to play, but my director Sonam Nair made it very simple for me. So the credit goes to her and Neena Gupta for making my character look so real. Sonam can put life even in stone"
It's indeed a munificent gesture of Jackie Shroff for crediting his award to his director and co-star and acknowledging their efforts.
On the work front, Jackie Shroff will be seen next in the high scale trilingual ' Saaho ' with Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor .
