Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is on a roll when it comes to mapping his career in the film industry. Born on March 2, 1990, Tiger dropped out of college to pursue his passion for acting. The actor is also a trained martial artist. Tiger has starred in successful movies like Baaghi (2016), Baaghi 2 (2018), and War(2019).
Tiger Shroff to stick to being a 'hero'?
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." The young actor was recently seen on the big screen alongside Hritik Roshan in the film War.
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.
With the success of War, Tiger Shroff has established himself as a bankable actor and has been identified as an' action hero' - a tag which he feels is more than enough for him. Tiger Shroff has been a part of action movies like Heropanti, Baaghi, A Flying Jatt and Baaghi 2. His next action movie is Baaghi 3 and the Bollywood remake of the cult Hollywood hit, Rambo. When it comes to playing negative roles, only time will tell if Tiger sticks to his positive role stance or change his mind later.
