Transverse spherocity, an event shape observable, has a very unique capability to separate the events based on their geometrical shape, i.e. jetty and isotropic. In this work, we use transverse spherocity for the first time in heavy-ion collisions using A Multi-Phase Transport Model (AMPT). We obtain the transverse momentum spectra, integrated yield, mean transverse momentum and azimuthal anisotropy for identified particles in Xe-Xe collisions at √s_\rmNN = 5.44 TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at √s_\rmNN = 5.02 TeV. The indication of collectivity in heavy-ion collisions can be clearly seen while comparing the transverse momentum spectra from jetty and isotropic events. The elliptic flow as a function of transverse spherocity shows that the isotropic events have nearly zero elliptic flow and the elliptic flow is mostly dominated by the jetty events. This study will pave a way to focus on jetty events in heavy-ion collisions in order to investigate jet medium modification and jet hadro-chemistry in a sophisticated manner.
