Mumbai– Veteran Bollywood star Jackie Shroff is showing no signs of slowing down at 68. Speaking at the trailer launch of his upcoming action-packed series Hunter 2: Tootega Nahi, Todega, the actor opened up about performing stunts at his age and shared that he feels tougher than ever.
“I’ve suffered fractures in my hand and leg, and taken quite a few hits over the years,” Jackie revealed. “But by God’s grace, I’ve grown tougher. My mind still feels like I’m 19, and my body feels young.”
Recounting the intensity of action sequences, Jackie recalled a moment when co-star Suniel Shetty was struck in the ribs with a real piece of wood. “Even I’ve had injuries—my ankle took a hit and the muscle in my left hand is torn. But it’s part of the process. Action keeps your bones and body in check.”
The Ram Lakhan star also reflected on how today’s screen-heavy lifestyles are affecting physical health: “We’ve all become so busy with our phones that our bones have stiffened. It’s important to look after our health—and to care for our parents and loved ones.”
While Jackie performed limited action in the series, he praised Suniel Shetty—whom he affectionately called “Sunil Anna”—for going all in.
Hunter 2 also stars Anusha Dandekar, Barkha Bisht, Anang Desai, Pramod Pathak, and Mazel Vyas, and is directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra. The series begins streaming on Amazon MX Player from July 24.
Jackie’s most recent release is Tanvi The Great, directed by Anupam Kher. The film follows 21-year-old Tanvi, a young woman on the autism spectrum, as she sets out to fulfill her late father’s dream of saluting the Indian flag at Siachen Glacier by joining the Army. (Source: IANS)
