Renowned Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff paid a touching homage to the legendary filmmaker and actor Manoj Kumar on the occasion of his death anniversary, reminiscing about his legacy as the beloved ‘Bharat Kumar’ of Indian cinema. Jackie shared a nostalgic sepia-toned photograph of Manoj Kumar on Instagram, highlighting his remarkable contributions to films centered around patriotism. In his heartfelt tribute, he expressed: ‘Always in our hearts. Remembering Manoj Kumar Ji on his death anniversary.’
Manoj Kumar began his cinematic journey in 1957 with the film ‘Fashion,’ appearing in supporting roles in other movies like ‘Sahara,’ ‘Chand,’ and ‘Honeymoon.’ He landed his first leading role in ‘Kaanch Ki Gudiya’ in 1961 and achieved significant recognition in 1962 with Vijay Bhatt’s ‘Hariyali Aur Rasta,’ alongside Mala Sinha. His successful films include ‘Shaadi’ (1962), ‘Dr. Vidya’ (1962), ‘Grahasti’ (1963), and ‘Phoolon Ki Sej.’ He gained widespread fame with the mystery thriller ‘Woh Kaun Thi?’ opposite Sadhana. Over a remarkable career spanning more than four decades, he appeared in 55 films. Tragically, he passed away last year at the age of 87 due to chronic heart complications, with decompensated liver cirrhosis noted as a secondary cause of death according to hospital records.
Turning to Jackie Shroff, his recent project is the romantic comedy ‘Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri,’ directed by Sameer Vidwans, featuring Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday alongside Neena Gupta and Tiku Talsania. He is also set to star in Ahmed Khan’s upcoming comedy ‘Welcome To The Jungle,’ which boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Suniel Shetty, and many more.
