Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 1 : A throwback, a little self-roast, and a lot of nostalgia, that's how Cyrus Broacha chose to revisit his very first film.

Taking a trip down memory lane, Cyrus recently looked back at his Bollywood debut 'Jalwa,' and true to his style, he didn't hold back on the humour. Sharing a clip from the 1987 film on Instagram, the comedian-actor poked fun at his own performance, calling it a mix of "New York Film School energy" and "municipal hospital execution."

The film, directed by Pankuj Parashar, featured Cyrus in a small but memorable role as Suresh, the younger brother of Archana Puran Singh's character Jyothi. In his caption, packed with wit and self-deprecating humour, he wrote, "My Bollywood debut in Jalwa. New York Film School energy, municipal hospital execution. Don't do drugs - Jalwa (1987)..."

'Jalwa,' which also starred Naseeruddin Shah, was set in Goa and largely shot there. The film followed the story of Kapil, a policeman on a mission to avenge his friend's death, even if it meant bending the rules. Over the years, the film has developed a cult following and is often remembered for its quirky storytelling and performances.

Beyond his brief stint in films, Cyrus went on to become a familiar face on Indian television, especially through his work with 'MTV Bakra', which ran successfully for several years. His quick wit and spontaneous humour made him a standout personality in the early days of Indian reality and youth television.

He also appeared in 'Hello Friends', where he played a character inspired by Chandler Bing, and later participated in the second season 'Bigg Boss OTT,' reconnecting with a newer generation of audiences.
