Tiger Shroff On Family, Failure & Fighting His Fears | League Of Excellence | THR India
In this episode of THR India's League of Excellence, Anupama Chopra sits down with Bollywood action star Tiger Shroff for an in-depth conversation about his decade-long journey in Hindi cinema. Tiger opens up about the discipline he inherited from his athletic background, how the failure of his mother Ayesha Shroff's production Boom shaped his risk-averse approach to filmmaking, and the lessons he learned working alongside his idol Hrithik Roshan in War. From his family's financial struggles to carving out his identity as an action hero independent of his father Jackie Shroff's shadow, Tiger reflects on the highs and lows with remarkable candour.
The conversation also delves into Tiger's evolution as a performer—his sister's brutally honest feedback about being "too selfish" on screen, his fear of flying despite performing death-defying stunts, and his obsessive commitment to fitness that his trainers have to physically restrain. Tiger reveals exciting details about his upcoming projects, including Lag Jaa Gale with Dharma Productions directed by Raj Mehta, where he plays a character unlike anything he's done before, and the long-awaited Rambo remake that's finally back on track. This is a rare, vulnerable look at the man behind Bollywood's most spectacular action sequences.
