Hero won hearts not only with its story but also with its music. Each and every song added to the charm of Hero, whether it was ‘Pyar Karne Wale Kabhi Darte Nahin’, ‘Tu Mera Janu Hai’, or ‘Ding Dong Oh Baby Sing A Song’. The music was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.
Of course, Jackie’s acting skills were commendable. The film turned him into an overnight star.
At the moment, Jackie is being lauded for his performance in Prime Video’s film Mast Mein Rehne Ka. In the film, he shares screen space with Neena Gupta.
