Tiger Shroff to play a boxer in Vikas Bahl’s next titled Ganpat?

Tiger Shroff currently has films like Heropanti 2 and Rambo remake in his kitty. And now, according to the reports, the actor has been roped in to star in Vikas Bahl’s next titled Ganpat.

Reportedly, in the film, the actor will be seen playing the role of a boxer. A source told Mumbai Mirror, “Ganpat is essentially a sports drama set in Mumbai with Tiger playing a boxer for the first time. Vikas has been working on the script for a while now and Tiger, who loves MMA, wrestling, and boxing was looking to do a film in this space. When Vikas narrated the script to him, it was an instant ‘yes’ from Tiger.”


Ganpat will be a two-film franchise, tracing the journey of Ganpat from a Mumbai boy to a world-class boxer. Though it’s an action-packed film, at its core it’s an underdog story like Super 30, with an emotional father-son subplot. The search is on for a senior actor to play Tiger’s onscreen father,” added the source.

It is said that Tiger has already started prepping up for the film.

Meanwhile, the actor is all set to make his singing debut with a single titled Unbelievable. It was yesterday when he made an announcement about it.

He posted on Instagram, “Always wanted to sing and dance to my own song, but never really had the courage to take it forward. Spent a lot of time exploring and working this lockdown and discovered something new. Its been an ‘unbelievable’ experience, and i’m excited to share this humble effort with you soon ?❤️ #YouAreUnbelievable #TeaserOutSoon.”
