Even though the movie opened with Abhishek Bachchan’s ‘Game’, the movie has been able to do brisk business and drew in Rs 10.5 crore in its first weekend.

Talking about how the movie came into being, the actor got evocative and said that the movie idea was inspired from a sweeper.

"I was in Miami once and was staying at a hotel where there was a sweeper employed. He was cleaning and wiping away everything that was waste. He looked very content doing his job,” recalled Jackky.

“Then in the evening when I stepped out of the hotel, I saw the same man driving away in a Lamborghini. This is when I realized how proud he was about his job and doing it with so much conviction," the actor said.

Doing what you want to do is a beautiful experience, says Jackky
The idea was quite motivating for Jackky and he understood that doing what one wanted to do was exactly what mattered and how small or big the work was, it was something that did not matter much.

“Here in India, till the time you haven't done your Engineering, Medicine or Commerce, you are termed as a 'faltu'. There a sweeper too is going about enjoying his job as well as life,” he said.

And so, the whole idea on a film on underdogs developed and his choreographer-turned-director friend Remo D'Souza loved the story idea so much that he ended up making it his first directorial venture.

About Jackky’s character in the film
Jackky plays the role of an average college-going student in the movie and people have really liked his work in the movie.

And talking about his closeness with the character, Jackky added, “Everyone wrote me off in college and after my first film, so, technically, F.A.L.T.U is my story!”

At the end, Jackky said that his fan following on Twitter and Facebook had increased post the movie and right now, the actor was single and ready to mingle.

Hope the girls are listening!
