If there’s a role reversal that a father loves, it is when his kids are old enough to teach him something new. That’s what Jackie Shroff experienced while prepping for The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman. With his son Tiger Shroff having played a superhero a decade ago in A Flying Jatt (2016), the senior actor turned to him for tips when it was his turn to portray one in Manish Saini’s directorial venture.

Talking to mid-day, Jackie said, “He gave me a few pieces of advice. He told me, ‘The bodysuit will make you hot. So, stay hydrated. If you don’t drink enough water, your muscles will tear. Also, it will be very difficult to go to the washroom in the bodysuit.’ This role reversal is so beautiful. You should listen to the kids. Listening to them gives you a lot of strength.”
The Great Grand Superhero is a natural choice for the actor, who has an affinity for children’s films. Jackie revealed that his kids have influenced his love for the genre. “When Tiger and Krishna [daughter] were young, I saw how they loved watching kids’ films. That remained in my heart. It’s nice to give entertainment to kids,” he said.
Jackie Shroff previously starred in children-friendly films, including:
>> ‘King Uncle’
>> ‘Bhoot Unkle’
>> ‘Hari Puttar’
>> ‘Bhoot and Friends’
Tiger Shroff portrayed a superhero in the 2016 film, ‘A Flying Jatt’
