Bollywood veteran Jackie Shroff has finally spoken about a dream project that fans have been hoping for — sharing the screen with his son, Tiger Shroff. In a recent interaction, the iconic actor revealed that both father and son are equally excited about the idea and are simply waiting for the right story to make it happen.
Speaking candidly to ANI, Jackie said, “I want it to happen very soon. I hope someone comes up with a subject that brings us both together. I am waiting for it. Tiger also wants to work with me. He told me, ‘Daddy, we must work together. It will be fun.’” His words instantly sparked excitement among fans who have long wished to see the real-life duo team up on the big screen.
Beyond the father-son collaboration, Jackie also shared his thoughts on the evolving landscape of cinema. Known for his deep love for theatres, the Hero actor admitted he still prefers the magic of watching films on the big screen rather than at home on OTT platforms. However, he acknowledged that the traditional theatre experience is changing.
Reflecting on shrinking cinema halls, Jackie said, “Theatres have become a game of brick and mortar. Earlier, cinema halls had 1000 seats. Now they have reduced it to 200, and the rest of the space is used for malls.” He pointed out that despite these changes, India still has iconic theatres that represent the enduring spirit of movie-going culture. “Maratha Mandir is still there. Regal is still there. Eros is still there. Maratha Mandir is the biggest example — a respectable cinema hall in Maharashtra. Small theatres have also started coming up,” he added.
While expressing nostalgia for the big-screen experience, Jackie also acknowledged the growing impact of OTT platforms. “With OTT, a lot of content is being watched — good and bad. You are sitting at home and watching a movie. But watching a film on the big screen is a different feeling, and OTT is different,” he explained, highlighting that both platforms now coexist and serve different audience needs.
On the professional front, Jackie was recently seen in Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, co-starring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday. Presented by Dharma Productions and Namah Pictures, the film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, Shareen Mantri Kedia, and Kishor Arora. It hit theatres on December 25, 2025, also featuring Neena Gupta in a key role.
As Jackie and Tiger wait for the perfect script, fans can only hope Bollywood delivers a father-son blockbuster soon.
