Mumbai: Tiger Shroff is not worried about getting stereotyped as an action star
as he believes it is good to have an identity so early in his career.
The
five-films old actor has largely been associated with action movies
right from his debut "Heropanti" to his last "Munna Michael".
"I
am so blessed to have been given an identity so early in my career. When
people think of Tiger Shroff, they think of something, that's a huge
achievement for me," he said at the trailer launch of his latest film
"Baaghi 2"
"Having said that, it was a dream to be an action hero and I am living that," he added.
The Ahmed Khan-directed film features Disha Patani opposite him.
When
asked about the equation between the two actors, who are rumoured to
be dating, the director said,"Both are really mature. They would come in
separate cars. If Tiger would be on set, Disha wouldn't be there and
vice versa. On set, they were Ronnie and Neha (characters). And this
comes from within you."
Ahmed said Tiger is a superhero without the cape.
"Tiger,
for one, I know is so hardworking. Very few actors are like him. If you
ask him to do an action scene, he is ready do to. If you ask him for a
bare body shot, he wouldn't ask you, 'Give me five days, one week.' He
would be ready for it in 10 minutes. He is a guy, who is a superhero
without cape," he added.
Disha said Tiger inspired her to shoot her own action sequences.
"Because
of him, I have started doing action, whatever little I have done. I
have seen him train. I was on set once or twice when Tiger was doing his
action scenes, because I believe when you are doing such a scene, you
are in a different frame of mind. You should let the actor breathe. I
don't want to get hurt," she added.
"Baaghi 2" sequel to the 2016 action drama is scheduled to be released on March 20.
