Jaggu Dada has played a long innings in the cinema world and even today at the age of 69, he is active on the work front.

A similar story of Jackie Shroff’s anger and his anger was once narrated by actor Suresh Menon in an event. He told how Jackie Shroff had clashed with the filmmaker for a junior artiste like him.
Suresh Menon was fired without any reason
Suresh Menon told that there was a production house named Good Night Films and there was a producer named Kumar in it. So I went and once asked Kumar that Kumar sir, I have a shoot in Mumbai, so can I go in an hour? He fired me just for this simple thing. Suresh Menon told that he started talking to her very rudely and said that you think we need to take dates from you, who are you? Suresh told that he abused him a lot and then drove him away.
Jackie Shroff had a clue
After all this he was obviously very dejected and remained sitting for some time. After this, Shashi Dada, who was Jaggu Dada’s make-up man, came running and said – Sir is calling. Suresh quickly got up and reached Jackie Shroff. Jackie Shroff was sitting there and said in his heavy voice – Yes son, tell me what happened? Suresh replied- Sir, nothing happened. On this, Jackie Shroff lovingly but abusingly asked – Tell me, what happened? On being refused again, Jackie asked- What happened to Kumar?
Taught a lesson to the producer like this
Suresh told that when he told Jackie Shroff to leave him sir, what was to happen happened. On this Jackie Shroff got up and took Suresh with him and went to Kumar. He said- Come with me. Suresh told that it is really very difficult to handle the few actors including Dharmendra. And one of them was taking me with him. Jaggu Dada said to Kumar – This is my brother. Next time you abuse me, I will catch you and give it to you right here. Jackie Shroff scolded him fiercely and Kumar was seen pleading and apologizing in front of him.
