Actor Jackky Bhagnani started shooting for the film Anandwaa on Thursday in Mumbai.

The actor will play the lead role in the film, which is an ode to Hrishikesh Mukherjee's cult classic Anand. The 1971 film featured the late actor Rajesh Khanna and megastar Amitabh Bachchan. Anand, which had a storyline of strong friendship between Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan, it would be really interesting to see if Jackky could match the expectations.
