Jackie Shroff-starrer The Great Grand Superhero finally has a release date. The announcement comes months after the makers unveiled a teaser that introduced the film’s child-led fantasy world and its emotional core. Written and directed by National Award-winner Manish Saini, the film centres on childhood imagination, wonder, and the bond between a grandfather and his grandson.
The first glimpse had suggested a story seen through a child’s eyes, with aliens, secrets and a larger-than-life grandfather at its centre. The teaser had revealed the tone of the film, but did not confirm when it would arrive in cinemas.
Release date
The makers have now announced that The Great Grand Superhero will release in theatres on May 29.
In an official statement, Jackie said, “With The Great Grand Superhero, we’re fulfilling every child’s dream. If your spirit stays young and your spine stays strong till 90, that itself makes you a superhero. Kids’ dreams should always come first.”
