Jackie will plays Ibrahim Vakil, a theatre guru in Anubhav, which was recently in news for being appreciated at Osian Cinefan film festival.
The film is based on male exploitation, which is rarely dealt with in Indian cinema. And though it is a serious theme, the film is about how love endures in all circumstances.
Anubhav will be directed by National Award winning Keralaite director Rajeev Nath, and will also star Sanjay Suri and Gul Panag.
It is scheduled to release in August.
