Tiger Shroff Confirms ‘Rambo’ Is Back After Six Years, Promises a Reinvented Action Film
After years of delay, Rambo is finally moving forward reimagined and unlike anything audiences expect from his action filmography, says Tiger Shroff
For years, Rambo has existed in that frustrating space where a project is announced, discussed, remembered—and then left hanging. Tiger Shroff has finally put an end to the suspense.
Asked what he is most excited about next, the actor did not hesitate. “I’m really, really looking forward to Rambo. Honestly speaking,” he said.
Shroff acknowledged just how long the film has been waiting in the wings. “It was six years ago, funnily enough,” he recalled, referring to when the project was first announced. “And then, for whatever reasons, it sort of didn’t take off.”
In the intervening time, his career has become synonymous with action—often in ways that overlap with what audiences associate with the Rambo brand. Shroff admitted that the character’s iconic energy has already echoed through his filmography. “One Baaghi after another came and that’s pretty much Rambo in its soul,” he said, adding that “a lot of the key scenes from Rambo were used in Baaghi.”
That history is precisely why this return matters. Shroff is not presenting Rambo as a simple revival, but as a rebuild. “Now that it’s finally back into my life, [we’re] revamping it in a very big way and in a very different way,” he said.
The actor framed the new Rambo as unfamiliar terrain—not just another extension of what he has already done. “It’s a very different terrain for me. It’s a very different character for me. I’m a lot more mature in that,” he said, suggesting the long delay may have given him time to grow into the part.
Fans are also likely to be intrigued by his hint that the reinvention extends to his on-screen look. “I’m hoping people like my look,” Shroff said. “It’s something that I’m experimenting with—taking risks—and it’s not exactly what you would expect from a Rambo.”
He also confirmed that an older reference point for his physical brief has been dropped. When reminded of a past comment about being designed to look like a “silverback gorilla,” Shroff laughed it off as an early idea that no longer applies. “That was the initial reference,” he said. Asked if it had changed, he replied simply: “That’s changed now.”
After six years of delays, Shroff is not selling certainty as much as intent. Rambo is happening, he says—and it is being rebuilt with enough difference to surprise those who think they know what a Tiger Shroff action film looks like.
