Jackie Shroff: New hero in Tamil cinema

In what can be termed a second foray to Southern filmdom, actor Jackie Shroff will be seen in a Tamil film as hero. It can be recalled that the actor had been part of a Malayalam film 'Athisayan' – a children's film with loads of special effects.

Popular advertisement filmmaker Thyagarajan Kumararaja is coming up with a film titled 'Aaranya Kaandam' and Jackie Shroff will mesmerize audiences with his stylish demeanor. The film would be produced by S P B Charan.

When queried as to how he managed to convince Jackie, Kumararaja says, 'the role required a senior person. I got to meet Shroff through a friend. He liked the story and immediately agreed to be a part of it'.

The cast also includes Ravi Krishna, Sampath and Somasundaram of Kooththu-p-pattarai.
