Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 19 (ANI): Actor Jackie Shroff shared the importance of the grandfather in a joint family while reflecting on his role in his upcoming film ‘The Great Grand Superhero.’

While talking to ANI, Jackie Shroff explained the importance of a grandfather’s presence, as their words carry a lot of power in the family.
Jackie Shroff said, “I liked my grandfather’s role in the film, and I also liked his superpower because in a family, a grandfather’s words have a lot of power in a joint family. So, it is close to my heart. He (director Manish Saini) said, this is the role, and the child thinks that he is a superhero. Whose child thinks like this? I liked this dream of a small child and the grandfather’s presence at home. The digital world cannot harm a joint family. Emotion does not change.”

Children will have a memory of watching this at this age. This generation will be 20, 30, 40 years old. They will say, we saw a great superhero in our childhood. It will be nostalgic for them.”
