Jackky Bhagnani has been seen as an actor in films like ‘Faaltu’, ‘Youngistaan’, ‘Mitron’ and a few others. However, it was only after he turned producer a few years back that his career has taken a soar. While his acting career was forgetful, it is his stint as a producer, that has made him one of the leading names in film production to reckon with in today’s time. He has given some big films ‘Sarbjit’, ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’, ‘Bell Bottom’, ‘Cuttputlli’, and many others.
He has a few projects which are lined up for him next, which are sure to put his career once again on a high. Jackky Bhagnani is all set to come up with 3 of the most massive films of 2023 – ‘Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’, ‘Ganapath’ and ‘Capsule Gill’ as a producer.
When asked about why he wanted to make the shift from acting to production and in retrospect, how did he feel about the decision in a recent interview with a leading magazine, Jackky Bhagnani said, “I think 'shift' is not the right word, it's adding another feather to the cap. That does not mean I have taken a sabbatical from acting. But I just felt that as a filmmaker, I can offer so much more. And I can be a part of the entire process of storytelling not just as an actor but also as a filmmaker and tell many more stories, empower many more people, and give many more people opportunities which just felt like a more overall enriching experience.”
“It definitely helps a great deal. It empowers me with sensitivity towards creativity and though it is business and I have to wear the business hat, at the same time we are selling a form of art, so I think the marriage of creativity meeting commerce really helps,” added Jackky Bhagnani on being asked about how his experience as an actor helped him as a producer.
When asked about how hands-on he is as a producer, Jackky Bhagnani said, “I would like to believe that I am pretty hands-on or I'm learning a new aspect every day and that's the beauty of filmmaking. Every day you come, you learn a new aspect, either from the creative side, the production side, or the marketing or sales team. Or even from the on-ground production, the challenges that the production team goes through, or the creative team goes through to bring that piece of script live on celluloid and create that magic.”
On the personal front, there are reports suggesting that Jackky Bhagnani might tie the knot soon with his longtime girlfriend Rakul Preet Singh. The two opened up about their relationship and made it Insta Official a while back. The two are indeed one of the cutest couples in today’s times and with the wedding season on in Bollywood, it would be fantastic to see another couple take their relationship to the next level.
Well, now that his production ventures are starting to do well, and considering that he hasn’t totally written off acting, it would be interesting to see Jackky Bhagnani make a comeback to the big screens as an actor. Are you excited about the same?
