Jackie Shroff in 2026: Jungle, Kaali Kheti and King

Jackie Shroff has several films across 2026, from a big comedy to a rural horror to Shah Rukh Khan's King. This profile covers what is confirmed, with the caution that some releases on the Wikipedia list carry trade labels from only one tracker.

Welcome to the Jungle

Jackie Shroff plays Zatara in Welcome to the Jungle, which opened on June 26, 2026. Ahmed Khan directs, and Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav are in the cast.

Koimoi's closing report gives a worldwide gross of ₹196.11 crore against a reported budget of ₹125 crore and a Plus verdict, while Sacnic's 2026 rankings label the film a disaster. The film's figures differ across trackers, and the verdict depends on which is used.

The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman

The Wikipedia list of 2026 Hindi films shows The Great Grand Superhero: Aliens Ka Aagman as released on May 29, with Jackie Shroff in the cast. KS Box Office lists it as a flop. We found only that one tracker label, so we do not state a verdict as settled and we do not give figures.

Kaali Kheti

Kaali Kheti, described as a rural horror film, is scheduled for November 20, 2026. We did not find a trailer review or official collection data in our sources, so we limit this to the date and genre.

King

Jackie Shroff is in the cast of King, due on December 24, 2026, with Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. Siddharth Anand directs. His role has not been officially described.

The pattern

On this list, Jackie appears across a commercial comedy, a superhero film, a horror and a Shah Rukh Khan action film, a range that is typical of a veteran character actor working across genres. We have no source that comments on his choices, so we describe them as the list shows them.

The cover photograph

The ensemble factor

Welcome to the Jungle's cast list includes Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Raveena Tandon, Disha Patani, Jacqueline Fernandez, Arshad Warsi, Paresh Rawal and Rajpal Yadav besides Jackie. King's list is similarly long. In both films, Jackie is part of a large ensemble rather than a solo lead, which is why his role in each is best judged after release.

Koimoi also reports that Welcome to the Jungle opened with ₹19.4 crore India net on day one and ₹65.83 crore over its opening weekend, which shows the audience that his June film reached.

What we do not know

We do not know the budget of Kaali Kheti. We do not know the size of his role in King. And we do not know whether any of the 2026 films will be recognised at the year-end awards.

The bottom line

Jackie Shroff's 2026 includes a wide release in June, a smaller one in May, a horror film in November and a major film in December. Only one of these, Welcome to the Jungle, has full collection data, and even that is disputed between trackers.

A note on trackers

The Great Grand Superhero label comes from a single tracker, and Welcome to the Jungle's label differs by source. Readers who want a verdict for either should compare more than one table and keep in mind that gross collections are more comparable than labels.
