Actor Tiger Shroff is gearing up for the release of Baaghi 4, which he describes as the darkest film in the Baaghi franchise. Over the past few years,
Tiger faced a career slump following a string of box office disappointments, including Ganpath, Heropanti 2, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. In a recent interview, he candidly spoke about the upcoming installment, his new character, navigating through difficult phases of his career, and much more.
Tiger Shroff excited for Baaghi 4
In a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Tiger revealed his emotions about the film, “Feeling restless, happy, excited, blessed, and grateful that the audiences are going to see a very different side of me in my next release Baaghi 4. I’m really looking forward to their response. The last few years have definitely not been easy, but it’s been such a learning curve. I think because of it, I’ve sort of become a better artist.”
Tiger reveals he has put in all his learnings
The actor added that his experiences from the tough period have shaped his work in Baaghi 4. He shared, “I’ve put all those learnings into Baaghi 4 and I’m hoping that the audience—and you, Sir—see it. As I mentioned earlier, you can never really predict the fate of a film. But we’ve honestly given our thousand percent on this one. I’m just so grateful God has blessed the Baaghi franchise. The fact that it has reached its fourth instalment is a very, very big deal for me, and I’m deeply thankful to Sajid Nadiadwala Sir for giving me this platform and this franchise.”
Tiger also acknowledged the constant support of his parents, Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff, during both highs and lows of his career. “My parents are my soulmates. I’m really, really grateful and blessed,” he expressed.
Tiger opens up on Bade Miyan Chote Miyan’s box office failure
When asked about the underwhelming performance of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, co-starring Akshay Kumar, he admitted, “With Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, honestly, I thought it had everything going for it. Unfortunately, it didn’t quite connect with audiences. But I really enjoyed the whole process of shooting the film and I’m forever grateful to (producers) Vashu Bhagnani ji and Jackky Bhagnani ji.”
He continued, “To our director Ali Abbas Zafar Sir—who is one of my most favourite directors—and of course, my co-actor and childhood hero, Akshay Kumar Sir. We had a blast shooting the film, and I wouldn’t change anything if I had to do the film again.”

Tiger Shroff reveals action is his forte
Known for his action-hero image since his debut, Tiger said Baaghi 4 presents a rawer, more violent version of his style.
“I do believe action is definitely my forte. I’m very grateful that people have accepted me as an action hero in the industry. It’s tough to constantly reinvent myself in the genre, though. But with Baaghi 4, I’m quite confident this is a very different aspect, perspective, and language of action that I’ve attempted,” he explained.
He further added, “I’m hoping audiences enjoy it. This is a very different version of me and, I’d say, a sub-genre within the action genre. I’m hoping that just as audiences accepted me in War when I did something different, they’ll accept me the same way in this avatar.”
