Anil Kapoor Cheers Jackie Shroff's 'The Great Grand Superhero' Release

Anil Kapoor has cheered for Jackie Shroff's upcoming film 'The Great Grand Superhero' on Instagram. Kapoor praised Shroff's screen presence, calling it a "feeling" especially with the little superheroes. The film, directed by Manish Saini, explores a grandfather-grandson relationship intertwined with aliens. It is set for release on May 29th and features an ensemble cast including Prateik and Smita Patil.

Anil Kapoor says 'my ram on screen is always a feeling' ahead of 'The Great Grand Superhero' release

Mumbai, May 13

As veteran actor Jackie Shroff is all set to grace the screen yet again with his forthcoming drama "The Great Grand Superhero", his friend, actor Anil Kapoor, turned cheerleader on social media.

The 'Animal' actor took to the Stories section of his official Instagram handle and reshared the trailer of the much-anticipated drama.

Expressing his excitement about buddy Jackie's next, Anil penned on the photo-sharing app, "This one's special. Jackie bhai, my ram on screen is always a feeling, and this time, with these little superheroes, it's something else entirely. 29th May, don't miss it (sic)."

It must be noted that Anil and Jackie enjoy a long personal and professional association. These two prominent members from Bollywood are known to have shared screen space in movies as such as "Ram Lakhan" (1989), "Karma" (1986), "Kabhi Na Kabhi" (1998), "Parinda" (1989), "Roop Ki Rani Choron Ka Raja" (1993), "1942: A Love Story" (1994), "Trimurti" (1995), "Kala Bazaar" (1989), and "Shootout at Wadala" (2013).

Back in December last year, Anil cherished 41 years of friendship with Jackie with a heartfelt post that read, "On and off sets, ours was a friendship that grew in strength, quietly but surely. What was once a healthy rivalry, gently faded into the deepest respect and love for each other."

Shifting our focus back to "The Great Grand Superhero", the project has been made under the direction of National Award-winner Manish Saini.

The movie enjoys an ensemble cast with Prateik, Smita Patil, Bhagyashree Dasani, Sharat Saxena, Mihir Godbole, Durgesh Kumar, Saharsh Shukla, Shivansh Chorge, and Kumar Saurabh in pivotal roles, along with others.

If the recently released preview is any hint, the film talks about a world where a child's imagination takes the grandfather-grandson relationship to another level, with a unique thrill of aliens.

Backed by Zee Studios and Amdavad Films, "The Great Grand Superhero" is expected to reach the cinema lovers on 29th May this year.

Anil calling Jackie "my ram on screen" is such a classy nod to 'Ram Lakhan' days. These two legends defined 90s cinema for us. Hope the movie does well—Jackie bhai deserves a hit after a while! Just wish the trailer showed a bit more of the alien element.

Nice to see Manish Saini directing—he made some impactful films. But honestly, the title sounds a bit kiddish. Still, Jackie Shroff's presence always adds gravitas. Let's hope the script does justice to the cast. Fingers crossed for a good family film! 🤞

The grandfather-grandson bond with a sci-fi twist sounds refreshing! Bollywood rarely explores such themes well. Anil's post is super cute—truly shows their bond. Will definitely take my nephew for this one. 29th May it is! 🌟

Anil Kapoor's IG post is pure gold—brings back memories of 'Parinda' and 'Ram Lakhan'. These two have incredible chemistry. But I hope the film isn't overly sentimental; sometimes these feel-good stories get too preachy. Regardless, excited to see Jackie on screen again!

Siddharth J

Not a big fan of superhero themes in Indian cinema—they often feel forced. But Jackie Shroff is a legend and Anil's message shows real respect. Might give it a chance for the cast alone. Also, good to see Prateik getting work! 🤔
