Veteran actor Jackie Shroff has thanked director Karan Malhotra for giving him a "solid" role in the movie "Brothers", and says essaying the character was emotionally challenging.

"I'd like to say that it is a film made with a lot of heart. Throughout the 30 years in the industry, I've done several emotional roles, but this is the first in which he (Karan Malhotra) has extracted a lot of things (emotions) from my heart," Jackie said here.

Describing the "Agneepath(2012)" director's style of working, Jackie said: "As a director, he's from the old school, but still according to current generation. I'm thankful to him for giving me such a strong and solid role."

"Brothers" stars Akshay Kumar and Sidharth Malhotra in key roles.

Jackie says both of them have done "outstanding work" and and that he had a "great time" working with both of them.

In the movie, Jackie is said to be playing the role of a father to Akshay and Sidharth's characters.

Akshay Kumar set to break his own records with Brothers

2015 has been good year for Akshay Kumar. Baby' was the first big release of the year and even though the film did not open well at the box office, it was Akshay's most critically acclaimed film in a long time. The film sustained well and went on to do business of Rs 96 crore.

The superstar returned in May with Gabbar Is Back'. The remake catered to Akshay's fan-following at mass-centres, where the film did well.

So the big question with Brothers' is if the film, which is targeted both at single-screen and multiplex audience, will take a good opening.

The trailer received a good response, the song and dialogue promos has managed to raise the curiosity among audiences with its
storyline, emotional connect and realistic action sequences. Apart from action, Brothers also shows the relationship between two brothers, father-son and husband-wife. In short, the film has something for everyone.

Brothers will be releasing on 3500 plus screens all over country and the big question on Day 1 will be if Akshay Kumar, combined with Sidharth Malhotra's fan-following amongst the fairer sex, can break his own records with the film.

All records currently belong to his film Rowdy Rathore' which released in 2012.

1. Highest Opening Day: Only 6 stars - Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Ranbir Kapoor and Ajay Devgn - have managed to give their films a opening of 20 crore or more on Day 1. When it comes to opening day numbers, the last Akshay film that took a good start was Rowdy Rathore'. Since then, the opening of all his films have been below par. While Brothers' should beat the 3 year old record of Rowdy Rathore' (15.1 cr), it remains to be seen if the film can open at 20 crore plus.

2. Highest Opening Weekend: No Akshay Kumar film has managed to collect Rs 50 crore in its opening weekend and Brothers, because of two holidays on Saturday and Sunday, has every chance of beating the record of Rowdy Rathore' (48.3 crore) by a big margin. The same applies for films starring Sidharth Malhotra in the lead - his best is Rs 49.7 crore of Ek Villain.

3. Highest First Week: Another record that's likely to be surpassed is the for the highest first week business. The record again belongs to Akshay's Rowdy Rathore (79.52 crore). If Brothers is well-received, then the film could cross the 80 crore mark in 5-6 days!

4. Highest grossing film in India: Akshay's highest grosser so far is Rowdy Rathore which collected Rs 134 crore back in 2012. Sidharth's last film Ek Villain' collected Rs 104 crore and Jacqueline Fernandes is way ahead with KICK' collecting Rs 233 crore during Eid last year. Realistic targets will be crossing the business of Rowdy Rathore and collecting 150 crore plus.

5. Highest grossing film overseas: Akshay's highest grossing film overseas is the 7-year-old film Singh Is King', which collected a little more than $7 million. Both Baby' and Gabbar Is Back' have performed poorly in the overseas markets, so it'll be interesting to see if Brothers' takes a good opening. The Dharma factor should help the film.

6. Highest grossing film worldwide: The record currently belongs to Rowdy Rathore (Rs 201 crore gross), Akshay's only film to cross the 200 crore mark worldwide.
