You’d probably do a double take if told that Pratik Gandhi plays Jackie Shroff’s grandfather in a film. 

Gandhi did, too, when he heard the one-line concept of `Atithi Bhooto Bhava`, his latest release. The comedy’s premise — it tells the story of Gandhi’s character Srikant’s misadventures after he bumps into a ghost, who claims to be his grandson from his past life — had him hook, line and sinker. “I was sold when the makers told me that Jackie sir will play my grandson,” laughs the actor. For him, the icing on the cake was reuniting with the senior actor after their 2018 Gujarati film, Ventilator. “It was great to meet Jackie sir again. He is a gem of a person. [He is] sweet, and cool to talk to.”
