Actor Ali Fazal who began shooting the second schedule for Deva Katta’s Hindi remake of Prassthanam has been posting images from the location on social media. It is evident from Ali's posts that the film's cast and crew have been shooting at odd hours. But the one post which got Ali's fans excited and intrigued was the one with actor Jackie Shroff aka Jaggu Dada.
Ali posted a picture of him, Satyajeet Dubey and Jackie Shroff chilling in their vanity. They jammed to some rock and roll music and discussed their love for music and concert experiences each has had. Ali said, “Jackie Shroff is the coolest cat in B town I have ever hung out with.”
When probed further about his interaction with Jackie, the Victoria and Abdul actor said, “I’ve only learnt. And learnt not good but great things from Dada. Everyone knows him fondly. He radiates the fondness. He is far more evolved than many people I’ve come across in my lifetime so being with him has certainly been education both in life and on the celluloid. I watch him silently and listen to him talk. We have a very special and unsaid relationship in the film. You’ll have to wait and watch."
When asked about a memorable anecdote from their time shooting together, he said "There was a rain sequence me and Jackie da had to shoot. I just remember even after both of us being drenched in water for over 8 hours. He was so worried about the stray animals that were in the shot getting wet and scared because of the noise on sets. Melted my heart to see such compassion and love for nature in a world where we are drowning in pollution of so many kinds."
Their off screen friendship is off to a roaring start!
