Jackie Shroff will play a significant role in a film based on a novel by Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore.
Jackie has been out of the limelight in the last few years during which he has been doing nothing more than brief roles and cameo appearances in films.
But the coming months will see the actor return to action, though not in a big way. His children’s film ‘Bhoot Unkle’ is slated to hit the theatres in October this year. Before that Jackie will be seen playing a baddie in the next month’s release Naksha .
And now the handsome actor has signed a film based on Rabindranath Tagore’s 1929 literary masterpiece ‘Sesher Kabita’.
The film will be directed by Ujjwal Chatterjee, a Bengali. Jackie will play a freedom fighter in the movie.
