It is no secret that Tiger Shroff is a huge Bruce Lee fan since he’s been learning martial arts since a very young age. Later, Tiger was signed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala to make his first action film Heropanti. He was praised for his dancing skills as well. At that time, film critic Anupama Chopra acknowledged Tiger for his star-like qualities and a "very solid screen presence."

In an old interview, Tiger Shroff had revealed why he would not prefer to do negative roles. Tiger said that he has to think of the young people who come to watch his films. He said that a lot of them look up to heroes and expect them to set an example. They follow the clothes the actor wear, the way they talk and behave which is why he feels that is is very important to be correct in their behaviour towards women, children and elders even on screen. Tiger added that he would prefer not to play negative or grey characters as he is a positive person in real life and he wants to project that positivity in the roles that he would get to play.
