The teaser hints at a world where a child's imagination takes the grandfather-grandson relationship to another level with a unique thrill of aliens!

At the heart of it is Jackie Shroff, in a role that feels deeply warm and refreshingly different. He shared, "With The Great Grand Superhero, we’re fulfilling every child’s dream. If your spirit stays young and your spine stays strong till 90, that itself makes you a superhero. Kids’ dreams should always come first."

Directed by National Award-winner Manish Saini, the film brings together an ensemble cast including Prateik Smita Patil, Bhagyashree Dasani, Sharat Saxena, Mihir Godbole, Durgesh Kumar, Saharsh Shukla, Shivansh Chorge, and Kumar Saurabh. 29th May 2026, see you at the movies.

Jackie Shroff is special, and not only on his birthday. Unlike some of his brassy publicity-hungry colleagues, Jackie Shroff is very shy in public. He hates talking about himself. And if you insist on interviewing him, he will speak in mumbled half-sentences and ask you to fill in the gaps. Once his most constant male co-star asked him, ‘why doesn’t he market himself better?’ and he replied, “Because I am not a bar of soap,” Jackie mumbled.

He loves to sing. Rather than converse, he will sing to himself. His favourite singers are Mohd Rafi and Kishore Kumar. He loves Rafi Saab’s ‘Main Zindagi ka Saath nibhata chala gaya’ from his favorite film Humdono. Jackie also sang on screen for his character in Shiva Ka Insaaf. Jackie starred in the first 3D film in Hindi Shiva Ka Insaaf in which he played a super-hero, Zorro mask, and all. Jackie’s son Tiger sought inspiration from his father for The Flying Jatt where he played a super-hero.
