Jackie Shroff made his acting debut in Dev Anand’s 1982 film ‘Swami Dada’. In his first meeting with Dev Anand, he was offered the second lead role but after 15 days, Dev Anand changed his mind and gave the role to Mithun Chakraborty. Jackie was cast as one of the henchmen of Shakti Kapoor in an uncredited role.
Prior to this, Jackie used to work as a travel agent, and also worked in an advertising company. His stint in advertising led to modelling assignment, and before he knew it, he was cast in ‘Swami Dada’.
However, it was the Subhash Ghai directorial Hero in which Jackie Shroff garnered critical and commercial acclaim, and went on to become a huge star in the 1980s.
The actor was last seen in the streaming movie Mast Mein Rehne Ka opposite Neena Gupta.
