Producer Vashu Bhagnani's son Jaccky is all set to make his debut in Kal Kisne Dekha. The 24-year-old actor will be paired opposite another newcomer Vaishali Desai, the grand niece of ace filmmaker Manmohan Desai. The film is directed by Vivek Sharma, who last gave us Bhoothnath.
Jaccky spoke to Nithya Ramani about his first acting role, losing 60 kilos and more.
Movies must have been a cakewalk for you, since your father is a reputed producer. He has produced films like Coolie No 1, Hero No 1, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Biwi No 1, Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai and Sorry Bhai.
I always wanted to be an actor. But since I wasn't physically fit, I couldn't be launched. I was an obese child and had to train for five-six years before I could be launched.
It wasn't a cakewalk. Dad wasn't convinced that I could act or was ready to become an actor. Nobody would give a guy, who weighed 130 kg, a lead role just because he was Vashu Bhagnani's son. I had to look presentable, so I hit the gym and followed a diet schedule. Now, I am 70 kg, and ready.
Now that you have your film coming up, how does it feel?
It's a dream come true. I have been assisting dad, and have been an associate producer. So going on the sets was normal. But accepting the fact that this time, I wasn't the associate producer but the actor was difficult. It took time for me to digest that.
