Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has emerged as an action hero in the new generation of Bollywood stars, but the actor said he did not choose Student of the Year 2 to break any stereotypes. Much before Tiger had made his acting debut in 2014 with Heropanti, he was involved in doing daredevil stunts off-screen. After featuring in films such as Baaghi, A Flying Jatt and Munna Michael, the 28-year-old actor has established himself an an action star.
In his upcoming film Baaghi 2, he will be seen doing power-packed stunts. Although, in “SOTY 2”, Tiger Shroff will not be seen in a macho avatar and will transform into a naive student. The movie, sequel to the hit 2012 Karan Johar directorial, will be helmed by Punit Malhotra.
“I am trying something else with Student of the Year 2. That’s a complete contrast from Baaghi 2. I am getting bullied and beaten up. Here, it is the opposite,” Tiger said in a media interaction here. The actor said the decision to do the film – even as its rest of the cast is yet to be finalised – was not taken with the intention of breaking away from the action hero stereotype.
“I don’t have much action in the film (Student of the Year 2). I didn’t choose it to break the stereotype. It was an honour to work with Dharma Productions,” he said.
“It is Karan Johar’s baby franchise, his priced possession and he is passing it on to me, so there’s an expectation. I take huge pride in taking the legacy forward of ‘Student of the Year’,” he mentioned.
Tiger Shroff said the film will give him a platform to showcase an all new side to his acting abilities. “For me, it’s great as an actor to explore different facets. I’ve never played a regular, normal lover boy. It’s like a musical. If I get bullied there, the audience will be surprised. Suddenly after Baaghi 2, here I am getting bullied. So for me, that’s scoring marks,” he added.
