Jackie Shroff was asked what he loves the most about Salman Khan in a recent interaction. The actors have worked together in movies such as Bandhan (1998), Sirf Tum (1999), Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye (2000), Kyon Ki (2005), Veer (2010) and Bharat (2019). Jackie said Salman was a ‘lot like him’. The actor shared that he has no one else like Salman in his life.
“I see him a lot like me. Uska kapda, uska chalne ka, uska bolne ka (the way he dress, walks and speaks). You know, he has grown up looking at me, I think. Right from Kailash Surendranath (well-known ad director, who gave Salman his first break in a Campa Cola ad in 1983). He’s like my little brother or something. Aisa hai hee nahi mere paas koi, na mein isme believe karta hoon. Magar, aisa lagta hai ki mera hi hai. Main apne aap ko dekhta hoon (I don’t have anyone like Salman in my life, and neither do I believe in such a thing; but with Salman I feel he is mine. I see myself in him),” Jackie told journalist Faridoon Shahryar.
Prior to June, Jackie Shroff announced his next project on an Instagram post. He is good to go to feature along with Mithun Chakraborty, Sanjay Dutt and Sunny Deol in the forthcoming action drama, Baap. He had posted an image with Mithun and Sanjay from the sets on June 16, and penned, “Jahan chaar yaar mil jaaye… arre chautha kidhar hain bhidu… @duttsanjay @mithunchakrabortyofficial? (Where four friends reunite… But, where is the 4th one (Sunny Deol)?)”
