Tiger Shroff opens up about sticking to action genre

Tiger Shroff is riding high on the riotous success of his latest film War. Also starring Hrithik Roshan and Vaani Kapoor in lead roles, the action entertainer has already garnered more than Rs. 200 crores at the domestic box-office and is now racing towards the coveted Rs. 300 crore club.

Tiger has also started shooting for his next film Baaghi 3 with Shraddha Kapoor. Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 3 is the third instalment of the super successful Baaghi franchise. Post Student of the Year (2019), the young actor is glad to have returned to his home turf - action.


In an interview, Tiger Shroff said that his fans do not like to see him in roles which are not in action space. Giving the example of SOTY 2, the actor said that his fans did not like him being bullied by college students in the film. “SOTY 2 recovered the money but didn't fare as well as we had hoped for. I had a lot of feedback. Ahmed sir and the producer were kind enough to hear my suggestions,” shared Tiger.

Responding to critics’ views that he plays safe with the action genre, Tiger said that everyone is so competitive around that an actor needs to exploit his strengths to the maximum. “I cannot be compared to anyone else in my generation in the genre of films that I do. I would never dare to compete with Varun Dhawan or Ranveer Singh. I cannot do comedy like them. So, it is fair to say that I am good in my space. I am choosing roles that display my action abilities.”
