He makes his debut in the Tamil film, Aaranya Kaandam. Thiagarajan Kumararaja is directing the film, and famous actor-playback singer SPB's son Charan is the producer. Yuvan Shankar Raja is composing the music. <br /><br />After the success of Chennai 6000018, Charan has decided to produce "meaningful" cinema. The film was launched in Chennai with a pooja followed by a press meet. Jaggu dada told reporters, "I enjoy working in southern projects. There are lots of talented technicians and creative persons associated with such projects.u00a0I have a special association with SPB because he sang for me in many of my early films."<br /><br />Jackie has acted in a Telugu film, which was later dubbed in Tamil as Vangi. So what's suave Shroff's role in Aaranya Kaandam? "My character has negative shades. I have 26-year-old bond with the Tamil film industry. <br /><br />Rajinikanth, Ilaiyaraja, SPB and A R Rahman are legends in their own right. In my Hindi film, Uthkarshan, I played Rajinikanth's brother. We forged a great bond. In spite of his busy schedule, he attended my wedding. He sets great store by friendship," gushed Jackie. <br /><br />Model turned actress Yasmin Ponnappa is the lead heroine in Kumararaja's debut film.<br /><br />
