Veteran
actor
Jackie
Shroff,
who
was
last
seen
in
superstar
Rajinikanth's
Kochadaiyaan,
wonders
why
Tamil
film-makers
are
not
approaching
him
often.
"I
wonder
why
Tamil
film-makers
are
not
approaching
me
often
to
act
in
films
here.
After
'Aaranya
Kaandam',
Rajinikanth
called
me
to
act
in
'Kochadaiiyaan',
but
that
was
it," he
has
said,
speaking
to
a
leading
daily.
Jackie
is
currently
in
Chennai,
shooting
for
producer
CV
Kumar's
directorial
debut,
which
has
been
titled
as
Mayavan.
The
film,
which
has
Sundeep
Kishan
and
Lavanya
Tripathi
in
the
lead,
has
Jackie
playing
an
armyman.
"I'm
an
army
guy
but
there
is
a
twist
to
the
role
with
a
lovely
shade
of
grey,"
the
59-year-old
actor
has
said.
It
was
because
of
Aaranya
Kaandam,
the
film
which
had
earned
him
accolades,
he
managed
to
bag
this
particular
role.
"The
makers
reached
out
to
me
through
him
(Thiagarajan
Kumararaja,
director
of
'Aaranya
Kaandam'),
and
I
took
it
up
because
my
director
had
recommended
me,"
Jackie
Shroff
has
said.
