Six years after featuring in a music video, actor-turned-producer Jackky Bhagnani has returned to the screen with another song, Tere Rang Mein. Fronting musician B Show's track, which was released days ahead of Independence Day, was an emotional decision. "I am a patriot by heart. It's been quite some time since I faced the camera. So, I thought the best way to come back is with the right cause," said Bhagnani.

‘Mitron' (2018) was Jackky Bhagnani's last feature film as an actor

The past eight years saw him dive deep into the role of a producer at Pooja Entertainment. Staying away from acting was an intentional move. "I realised that I should produce my own films because if I do that, no one will question it. I felt that even in the films that were working, I wasn't getting credibility. I wanted the street credibility and respect of Gen Z, they should see that this is made by me," shared Bhagnani, who is looking for something "disruptive" to sign as an actor.

Rakul Preet Singh

Meanwhile, his actor-wife Rakul Preet Singh has a big release in Ramayana: Part 1, which sees her as Surpanakha. Praising her in the trailer of the Nitesh Tiwari-directed epic, Bhagnani said, "Rakul is my superstar. She has seen superstardom in the South. She has so much more to offer to the Hindi audience, and Ramayana will do that for her. Surpanakha can be a tricky character, but she has played it with elegance."
