Veteran actor Jackie Shroff, who is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film The Great Grand Superhero, has opened up about the reason behind his growing popularity among Gen Z audiences. During the film’s promotions, the actor shared his thoughts on human connection, generation gaps, and why younger audiences continue to relate to his personality and energy.

Speaking alongside director Manish Saini, Jackie Shroff explained that his approach toward people has always remained open and accepting, regardless of age. According to the actor, he never limits his interactions based on generational differences and believes genuine human connection is built through openness and mutual curiosity.

Jackie said he keeps his energy open to everyone, whether they are children, youngsters, or elderly people. He added that by understanding others’ interests and perspectives, people naturally begin connecting with him as well. The actor emphasized that conversations and relationships become meaningful only when individuals stop focusing on age barriers and start accepting each other as human beings.

The actor also reflected on his role in The Great Grand Superhero, revealing that the character feels extremely personal to him. The film revolves around a grandfather who shares a close friendship-like bond with his grandchild, a dynamic Jackie believes mirrors his real-life personality and outlook toward younger generations.

Jackie further revealed that one of the biggest reasons he agreed to do the film was the uniqueness of the concept. According to him, the idea of a “superhero grandfather” had rarely been explored in Hindi cinema before.

He also expressed complete trust in director Manish Saini, praising his filmmaking credibility and achievements.

Sharing more about the emotional connection he felt with the story, Jackie explained that he naturally relates to children as equals rather than treating them differently because of age. He stated that he has never believed in the idea of a “generation gap” and prefers to interact with children and youngsters like friends.

The actor’s heartfelt comments have once again highlighted the authenticity and warmth that continue to make him popular across generations. Known for his grounded personality and relatable public image, Jackie Shroff has increasingly become a favorite among younger audiences through interviews, social media clips, and candid public appearances.

With The Great Grand Superhero, the veteran actor is expected to bring a refreshing emotional dynamic to the screen by blending humour, warmth, friendship, and family bonding into a unique superhero narrative.
