Tiger Shroff reacts to news about re-release of Baaghi 3

Touted to be one of the biggest action entertainers of 2020, Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor’s Baaghi 3 could not have the kind of box-office run the makers had probably expected. The movie opened to good response and was running to packed houses when the Coronavirus pandemic turned out to be a party pooper. Suddenly, all theatres were shut down and the country went into a complete lockdown to stop the spread of the virus.

Almost a month after the release of Baaghi 3, rumours are rife in media that the makers are planning to re-release the film after the lockdown is lifted and things return to normalcy. However, when Tiger Shroff was asked about the actioner getting another chance in theatres, he did not sound too sure if it was worth the effort.

“I don’t know. It depends on Fox Star (Studios). The ball is in their court. By May, June it will be on television. So, I don’t know if there is a point to release the film anymore. But, if things settle soon then perhaps, yes.”, the actor told an entertainment portal.

Shroff said that Baaghi 3 was the least of his concern after the onset of the pandemic. “You know everything happened overnight and the film took a back seat in my head. Everyone was panicking so much. So much chaos is happening all over the world. Baaghi 3 was the least of my concern at that time. The safety of our citizens and our family and our friends was my priority. Considering everything that is happening in the world right now the film did really well. I am grateful to the audience, but at the same time guilty that they had to come out and watch our film. So, it is a 50-50 watch. I don’t know how to take it,” he said in conclusion.
