He made his debut with Subhash Ghai's Hero.

Recently, Subash Ghai had heaped praises on his “Hero” actor, Jackie Shroff, and said that he is still very proud of him.

Subhash had shared a picture of Jackie holding onto the poster of the 1983 film “Hero”, which marked the entry of the actor into the world of cinema.

The filmmaker then went on to write on his social media account, “In my journey as a filmmaker I did my best to groom non actors raw actors n actors to shine on screen n I feel happy that they are still at their peak with audiences. But some get into the orbit of their own success they deserve but some have same love n respect for the maker they started (sic).”
