Jackie Shroff brought his trademark warmth and big screen charm to Lucknow as promotions for The Great Grand Superhero gathered momentum ahead of its theatrical release. The veteran actor, who has spent over four decades building one of Hindi cinema’s most recognisable screen personas, arrived in the Uttar Pradesh capital as the family sci fi adventure moved into a sharper publicity phase.
The visit also carried a political and cultural spotlight, with Shroff meeting Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during his Lucknow stop. The meeting added visibility to a film positioning itself as a family entertainer built around wonder, intergenerational emotion and a child’s imagination.

Shroff’s Lucknow appearance came as The Great Grand Superhero prepares for its cinema release on May 29, 2026. The actor has been fronting the promotional campaign with a message that blends fitness, family and childhood fantasy, a tone that sits neatly with the film’s grandfather and grandson premise.
Speaking about the spirit of the film during promotions, Jackie Shroff said, “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.”
That line captures the emotional pitch of the campaign. Rather than leaning only on visual spectacle, the film is being sold as a story about the magic children see in their elders, with Shroff’s grandfather figure built around affection, eccentricity and late life heroism.
What The Great Grand Superhero Is About
The Great Grand Superhero is directed by National Award winning filmmaker Manish Saini and backed by Zee Studios and Amdavad Films. The film features Jackie Shroff alongside Prateik Smita Patil, Bhagyashree Dasani, Sharat Saxena, Mihir Godbole, Durgesh Kumar, Saharsh Shukla, Shivansh Chorge and Kumar Saurabh.
The film has been presented as a family sci fi adventure where a child’s imagination transforms the bond between a grandfather and grandson into something far bigger. Its teaser introduced a world of aliens and wonder, while keeping Shroff’s grandfather figure at the emotional centre of the story.
