Jackie Shroff has decided against watching his son
Tiger shoot. The sensible dad feels his son would become self-conscious
if he were to visit Tiger’s locations. The plan is to see Tiger on the
screen straight at the premiere when the film opens on Valentine’s Day
2014.
So what if Subhash Ghai refused to part with the title Hero for
Jackie Shroff’s son Tiger’s debut film? Even as Tiger has finally begun
to shoot for his acting debut it was most evident to everyone on
location that the young new wannabe star on the block is a chip off the
old block.
Says a member of ‘Hero-giris’ core team, “Tiger conveys the same
restrained implosive intensity in Hero-panti as his father in Hero. In
fact if you put the two generations of Shroffs side by side the son
looks like a spitting–image of his father . We were all startled at the
resemblance.”
One hears that producer Sajid Nadiadwala intends to incorporate some of Jackie’s traits from ‘Hero’ in Tiger.
Says the source, “Tiger doesn’t only resemble his father
physically. It’s as if Jackie’s soul has entered Tiger’s personality.
The difference is, Jackie didn’t care about where his career went before
or after ‘Hero’. Tiger won’t make one wrong career move. He knows all
the right moves.”
Says Jackie proudly, “My son is a good boy. Of course the credit
goes to his mother. But hey, please don’t underestimate my contribution
to the way my kids have grown up. I made sure I spent ample time with
Tiger. I was there for all his important school functions, birthdays
etc. I wasn’t an absentee dad.”
Ironically Jackie intends to play the absentee dad from Jackie’s shooting.
“It would be distracting for him to have me around,” says Jackie pragmatically.
