A Career Spanning Decades

From his breakout role in Hero to a career spanning over four decades, Jackie Shroff has explored a wide range of characters—from romantic leads to comedic roles, intense character portrayals, and flamboyant villains. Speaking about his ability to stay relevant in an ever-evolving industry, Shroff says, "Reinvention doesn't come through carefully orchestrated strategies; it has to be organic. You have to drop your guards and truly start having fun."

For Shroff, taking risks has been integral to his journey. "If something appeals to me, I don't hold myself back from going out there and trying it out. I don't think of the optics or fear of losing, and that's allowed me to truly take risks. Be it Criminal Justice, OK Computer, or anything else, I want to be known as the actor who will do something offbeat," he shares.
