Krishna Shroff Speaks On Turning Filmmaker
She is Jackie and Ayesha Shroff’s feisty daughter and Tiger Shroff’s little sister.
Krishna Shroff who has dabbled in filmmaking earlier—she made a documentary entitled Black Sheep which took a lingering but dispassionate look at the trans-gender community–is now assisting her brother’s director Sabbir Khan in a film title Munna Michael.
Says Krishna, “Yes, I’m just getting into the third week of prep with the Munna Michael team. I have done my BA in film production, but honestly, all the theoretical stuff put me off.

Says Krishna, “But the more I actually started spending time on Tiger’s sets though, the more exciting the idea of filmmaking started becoming to me. My non-fiction film Black Sheep was a really difficult journey, and although it was a super-rewarding experience, I was ready to take a break from the world of filmmaking altogether after that.But plans change, I guess.”
She is enjoying the challenge of being part of a Big Bollywood film. “I’ve never worked on a film on such a large scale as Munna Michael, so I’m ready for the challenge.

However I am not looking at an acting career.At least not any time soon.”
