Bollywood veterans, Jackie Shroff and Suniel Shetty share a great bond. Their friendship dates back to a time when they were in the initial phase of their careers. The duo have worked in many films together. Recently, these two stars from the 90s appeared together on the reality game show, Kaun Banega Crorepati Season 14 which is hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. During their conversation with Bachchan, Shroff and Shetty shared anecdotes from their lives.

In 90s era, a Housefull board depicted the popularity of a movie and when one of Jackie’s film was only half way to be housefull, Suniel went on to show his sweet gesture for ‘dada’ and bought all the remaining tickets.

Recalling the interesting tale of how Suniel once ended up buying half the tickets of his film’s show at a nearby theatre to ensure that it is ‘HOUSEFULL’, Jackie stated, “Ek picture meri release huyi thi aur humlog inke hotel mein pahuch jaate the. Toh waha humlog baithe the upar aur kisine aake bola, ‘Jackie woh teri picture release huyi uski tickete abhi bhi baki hai, biki nahi’. Toh yeh bole, ‘Ticket kharidle, jitne bache hai kharid lo. Full honi chahiye dada ki picture’. Toh unhone saari tickete kharid lee. Kaun kiske liye khariddta hai? Woh jaake meri picture ki ticket, aadhi kam thi, aadhi tickete kharid lee. (A film was mine was released and all of us friends were chilling at this hotel. While we were sitting and chit-chatting, someone told me, ‘Jackie, the tickets to your recently released film are still remaining and have not been sold out. That’s when he said, ‘Buy all the remaining tickets. Dada’s picture should be housefull’. And he bought all those tickets. Who does that for anyone? It was my film and only half the seats were booked and he purchased all the rest of it).”

On the work front, Jackie Shroff will appear next in upcoming horror comedy Phone Bhoot alongside Katrina Kaif, Ishaan Khatter, and Siddhant Chaturvedi. On the other hand, Suniel Shetty will be seen in Samir Karnik’s untitled comedy with Sanjay Dutt.
