Jackie Shroff and Subhash Ghai to collaborate again: ‘Once a Hero, always a Hero’

Jackie Shroff, the OG ‘Hero', celebrates his birthday today. On the occasion, the actor’s first director Subhash Ghai announced a new film featuring Jackie. Subhash and Jackie have collaborated before on hit films like Jackie’s lead debut Hero (1983), and 1989’s Ram Lakhan and Yaadein (2001), among others.

The director took to Instagram on Wednesday to wish the actor on his 66th birthday. Sharing a throwback picture of the actor, Subhash wrote, "Once a HERO - always a HERO. BORN as a new super HERO in our film HERO 1983 and #YAADEIN 2001 now comes in 2023 as a heart-warming super HERO on big screen film being produced by @MuktaArtsLtd on our script like never before. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 'JACKIE' from everyone from Mukta arts zee studios and all of us (sic)."

The film’s plotline, however, is still under wraps. When it comes to other projects, Jackie will be next seen in Quotation Gang with Sunny Leone. He also has Baap—Bollywood’s answer to The Expendables—with Sunny Deol, Sanjay Dutt and Mithun Chakraborty on the cards.
