According to a report by Peepingmoon.com, Tiger Shroff is all set to feature in Super 30 director Vikal Behl’s upcoming action drama movie. The portal has now shared that this movie will be based on illegal Mixed Martial Arts and its techniques and strategies. The report said that this Tiger Shroff’s movie will not be just a simple action movie with the story of an emotional underdog trying to get higher up the ranks in the MMA world.

Hollywood has seen several movies based on MMA but this Tiger Shroff movie will be focusing on the illegality involved in the sport. It is a theme which has been rarely worked upon before, the report added.
