ABOUT TIGER SHROFF
Tiger Shroff made his Bollywood debut in 2014 with Heropanti, directed by Sabbir Khan. The film also launched Kriti Sanon and emerged as a box office success, helping Tiger build a strong fan following, particularly among younger audiences inspired by his martial arts skills and fitness routines.
Following his debut, Tiger went on to headline action films like Baaghi, which later became a successful franchise. He also starred alongside Hrithik Roshan in War, one of the biggest box office hits of 2019.
However, the actor has struggled at the box office in recent years. Films such as Heropanti 2, Ganapath, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan and Baaghi 4 failed to perform commercially. His last major hit remains Baaghi 3.
Tiger will next be seen in Lag Jaa Gale, directed by Raj Mehta. The film also stars Tabu, Vidyut Jammwal, Janhvi Kapoor and Kunal Thakur in key roles.
