The actor also opens up about how he ended up being cast for Welcome To Karachi…
Jackky Bhagnani’s last release Welcome To Karachi couldn’t do that well at the box office. However, the actor received a lot of praise for his funny Gujarati act. He has been facing similar response from the audiences and critics since his past few films all of which have been backed by his father Vashu Bhagnani. So why does the actor always pick up such scripts? Why does he work with his dad’s banner always? We ask…
The actor says, “Yes, I feel I have a responsibility towards my home production. They are the banner which launched me. So whenever they need me, I will always try and make time out for them. Welcome To Karachi also happened in the same way. Just three days before the release, Irrfan Khan sir decided to walk out of the film. He was having some issues with the dates and all and it was understood as well. So in such a short period of time who could be fit in the character? Obviously, I was a part of the production team which did all the pre-production work for the film. So I knew the character inside out. So naturally the production house approached me and I was happy to fill in the shoes. It is true that dad backs all of my projects. After all he’s my dad and would want my work to come forward to the world. But yes, sometimes I feel because of that other filmmakers don’t approach me that much.”
Well that’s true for all sons and daughters in the film industry whose parents are established producers. We definitely hope to see Jackky coming out of the shell in flying colors and do a film with some other production house. We hope that day will be the real test of his acting skills. What say BollywoodLifers?
