In love with showbiz

In an industry with a swiftly changing landscape, Jackky Bhagnani seems to be on the road to making as many entertainers as possible. The actor-producer, who has worked both on and off the screen, has an interesting filmography that is filled with inspired choices. And if you ask him, the key to making it all work is rather simple: listen to the audience. In an exclusive conversation with Filmfare, the actor opens up about his process of making movies, his upcoming projects, and more.

WHY DID YOU SHIFT FROM ACTING TO PRODUCTION AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR DECISION?

I think ‘shift’ is not the right word, it’s adding another feather to my cap. That does not mean I have taken a sabbatical from acting. I just felt that, as a filmmaker, I could offer so much more. I can be a part of the entire process of storytelling, not just as an actor but also as a filmmaker. I can tell more stories, empower more people and provide more opportunities, which feels like a more enriching experience.
