Krushna Abhishek allowed to impersonate Jackie Shroff after court order? Here’s what he has to say!

A few months ago, the veteran actor Jackie Shroff had followed the footsteps of Amitabh Bachchan and had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, wherein he was seen seeking protection of his name, trademark style and mannerism, the nickname 'Bhidu' (which has become totally synonymous with him now) from anyone using it.

That was when everyone was left wondering as to what will happen of the ace comedian Krushna Abhishek who was a ‘pro’ in not just imitating Jackie Shroff, but also his behaviour in the very famous ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’, which was hosted by the inimitable comic actor Kapil Sharma. The integration of Krushna Abhishek’s impersonation of Jackie Shroff had become a must have on almost all the episodes of the show.

For all those who were wondering about the impact of the aforementioned court order on Krushna Abhishek, well… let us tell you that the ace comic actor has now revealed that Jackie Shroff simply loves his impersonation of him. He added that he even called him personally to inform him that the legality of his personality rights does not apply to him.

In an interview with India Today, Krushna Abhishek revealed the aforementioned aspect of Jackie Shroff. He also revealed that not just Jackie Shroff, but also his son Tiger Shroff who enjoys watching him in his act of impersonating Jaggu dada (as Jackie Shroff is fondly called).

For the unversed, it was in the month of May this year, when Jackie Shroff had filed a petition in the Delhi High Court, wherein he was seen seeking protection for his name, likeness, and unauthorised usage of the nickname 'Bhidu, which had become his trademark. The Delhi High Court, eventually, ruled the decision in the favour of Jackie Shroff.

The icing on the cake however was when Krushna Abhishek revealed (in the aforementioned interview) that he was also a part of (Akshay Kumar starrer) Welcome To The Jungle, the film where dada (Jackie Shroff) was playing the villain. He added that they all had an extremely good time on the set and that, during the breaks, Jackie Shroff would even ask him to show videos of his performance as him, which really enjoyed.
