Bollywood action star Tiger Shroff has once again demonstrated why he is considered one of the top action icons in Indian cinema. Renowned for his willingness to push physical limits and execute high-risk stunts without the aid of visual effects or body doubles, Tiger reaffirmed his dedication to genuine action filmmaking in a recent social media post that gained significant attention. Sharing a behind-the-scenes clip on Instagram, he stated, ‘No body double… no VFX… just a lot of prep in every sequence I do. And blessed with the ability from the man above.’ The video showcases Tiger’s skillful execution of an intense stunt, a hallmark of his career since his debut in 2014.
The son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff, he attributes his fitness regimen and martial arts training to his success. This latest post underscores his commitment and the extensive physical preparation he undertakes for each role. Whether it involves intricate action choreography or gravity-defying moves, Tiger consistently elevates the standard for action scenes in Indian cinema. Recently, he celebrated the sixth anniversary of the blockbuster War, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films. Co-starring Hrithik Roshan, the film is regarded as one of Tiger’s significant career achievements. On October 3, he shared nostalgic clips from the film along with a heartfelt message: ‘6 years of a life-changing experience and movie.
From growing up idolising my hero to kicking ass alongside him @hrithikroshan. And thanks to my fav who guided me throughout the journey @s1danand.’ Tiger made a memorable entrance into the film industry with Heropanti (2014), distinguishing himself with his martial arts and dance skills. He followed this with successful action films like Baaghi (2016), Baaghi 2 (2018), and War (2019), gaining a loyal fan base among action enthusiasts. However, his recent career has seen a mix of successes and challenges. Major films such as Heropanti 2, Ganapath, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, and Baaghi 4 did not achieve expected box-office results. Despite these hurdles, Tiger retains strong fan support, particularly for his dedication to performing real stunts.
Industry insiders indicate that he is now more discerning in choosing scripts, seeking significant roles that align with his physical capabilities and appeal to a broader audience. As fans await news of his next project, Tiger’s recent updates clearly reflect his unwavering passion for authentic action.
