India, Aug. 2 -- More than four decades in the film industry, Jackie Shroff is still at it - working steadily and enjoying one of the busiest phases of his career. With Housefull 5 and Tanvi The Great already out this year, and a web series on the way, the 68-year-old shows no signs of slowing down. Ask the actor the secret, and the actor says, "I don't know. I'm doing the same thing I was doing then. I used to do three films a year, I still do that. One change is that I used to sing songs on screen more before, now I do it only if some maker gives me the opportunity. I like to act, and I like to be handledby my technicians. This is my job." Jackie credits his longevity to embracing unconventional roles. "Right from the beginning, I've chosen roles others didn't want to do. I should get a BAFTA for that," he quips, adding, "No one wanted to do Aaranya Kaandam (2010) or even Chunnibabu in Devdas (2002). People said, 'Title role to Devdas ka hai'. Par kya ho gaya usse? People were scared to do a role opposite Shah Rukh Khan. But I know if I stand in a frame, I'll be seen." He also knows his place in the larger picture. "I know my limitations, but I'm open to learning. I prefer being like water. The director is the captain, I don't plot or plan. Use my presence, my sincerity, my discipline. There's no pretence with me. I'll put it like this: I don't die in a death sequence," the actor signs off....
