The MMA fighter also shared a touching tribute to Shroff by quoting his iconic phrase, "Jhaad lagao bhidu," which has become synonymous with the actor's ongoing environmental advocacy. Jackie Shroff, known for his love of nature, has made this catchphrase a staple in his public appearances. Whether at high-profile events, red carpets, or casual interactions with the media, he is often seen promoting tree planting and sustainability.

Shroff will also be seen in Hunter 2, starring alongside Suniel Shetty.

Jackie Shroff's passion for both the environment and the screen shows no signs of slowing down, inspiring a new generation to follow in his footsteps and advocate for a greener tomorrow.
