Jackie Shroff says he worked for free on the 1994 film “1942: A Love Story,” sharing the reasons in an exclusive conversation with NDTV. He also recalls that he had a broken ankle on the first day of shooting, describing how that affected his start on the project.
The outlet presents the remarks as part of a broader look at his experience during the film’s making. While only NDTV’s account is provided here, the focus of its reporting is on behind-the-scenes circumstances—specifically Shroff’s decision regarding compensation and the physical challenge he faced at the beginning of production. The interview positions these details as part of the film’s production narrative rather than as a wider controversy or industry response.
Taken together, the information centers on Shroff’s personal recollections: he chooses not to take pay for the film and begins filming despite an injury. The report does not add differing claims from other outlets in the material provided.
