Jackie Shroff Thanks Farah Khan for 'Happy New Year' Role

Actor Jackie Shroff recently shared his appreciation for director Farah Khan, thanking her for his role and on-screen presentation in the 2014 film 'Happy New Year'. Shroff mentioned that Khan made him look "beautiful" on screen, a compliment he felt was unique among filmmakers he had worked with.

The conversation occurred during a vlog shoot at Krishna Shroff's residence. Shroff took the opportunity to advise his daughter, encouraging her to learn from Khan's experience in filmmaking and to make the most of such opportunities.

'Happy New Year,' released in 2014, was a heist comedy directed by Farah Khan and featured an ensemble cast including Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The film is remembered for its plot about a group undertaking a heist during a dance competition and its popular songs.

In a separate anecdote shared recently, Farah Khan recounted needing assistance to understand lyrics by Gulzar for the song 'Main Hoon Na,' even calling Javed Akhtar for translation. She also mentioned commissioning Javed Akhtar to write a 'nonsensical' song in Gulzar's style for 'Dard-E-Disco' in 'Om Shanti Om.' Farah Khan is known for directing hits like 'Main Hoon Na' and 'Om Shanti Om' alongside 'Happy New Year.'
