Tiger Shroff’s work front

Tiger Shroff’s few films, including Heropanti 2 (2022), Ganapath (2023), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) and Baaghi 4 (2025), failed at the box office. The last hit delivered by the actor was 2020’s Baaghi 3.

He is currently busy with the shoot of Lag Jaa Gale with Janhvi Kapoor and Lakshya. As per Mid-Day, the update has it that the shoot of Lag Jaa Gale has been extended till October due to Lakshya’s look-change requirement. The source has shared with the portal that Lakshya has a soft look in Chand Mera Dil, and for Lag Jaa Gale, he had to take on a rugged avatar, for which he will have to grow his hair, there is a delay in the shoot.

The film brings Lakshya and Tiger Shroff together in an action-heavy narrative built around revenge. Earlier, the portal had shared that the clash between their characters will form a major attraction, with high-energy sequences planned through the schedule. The story also builds drama around Janhvi Kapoor’s character, creating a triangle at the centre of the plot.

Originally, Lag Jaa Gale was announced as a directorial venture for Karan Johar during his 50th birthday celebrations in 2022. Johar stepped away from directing the film later and is now attached as producer.
