Actor Jackie Shroff, promoting his upcoming film The Great Grand Superhero, explained why he connects strongly with Gen Z. He said his popularity comes from keeping his energy “open” and not judging people by age. Instead, he focuses on understanding others’ interests and building mutual connections, saying he embraces people as human beings rather than generations. Shroff added that this openness allows him to relate to younger audiences and learn from them as well. He also said his new film, where he plays a superhero grandfather, reflects this mindset, portraying a friendly bond with a grandchild without a generation gap. The film will release in cinemas on May 29, 2026.
