I m a huge Dev Anand fan: Jackie Shroff

Mumbai June 11 (IANS) Actor Jackie Shroff says he has been a big fan of late actor Dev Anand.

At a special ‘meet and greet held on Sunday at the New Excelsior Mukta A2 Cinema in Fort here for the re-premiere of Jackie s classic film Khalnayak Shroff shared some of his fondest memories of shooting with filmmaker Subhash Ghai who has directed the film.

I m a huge Dev Anand fan. When we were filming for ‘Hero my dialogue delivery would come out in Devji s style. At that time Subhash sir would remind me that I am supposed to sound more like Shatrughan Sinha not Devji Jackie said in a statement.

I am very happy that our film Khalnayak is being re-premiered at India s largest screen. I wish I could watch my favourite song from the movie ‘Der se aana jaldi jaana once again Jackie added.
