Tiger Shroff (born Jai Hemant Shroff on 2 March 1990) is an Indian film actor and martial artist who works in Hindi films.[1] Son of actor Jackie Shroff and producer Ayesha Dutt, he made his film debut with a leading role in the 2014 action comedy Heropanti, which earned him a Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut nomination.[2][3][4][5] He next starred in the action drama Baaghi (2016), which earned over ₹1 billion (US$12 million) worldwide, and received praise for the superhero thriller A Flying Jatt (2016).

Early life

Shroff was born as Jai Hemant Shroff on 2 March 1990[6][7][8][9] to Indian film actor Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff (née Dutt). He is the elder of two siblings, his sister Krishna Shroff is three years younger than him.[10][11][12] Shroff is a heritage of a mixed ethnic group. From his paternal side, he is of Gujarati and Turkic ancestry[13][14] and from his maternal side, he is of Bengali and Belgian descent.[15][16][17][18]

He did his schooling at American School of Bombay. Shroff helped Aamir Khan to build his physique for Dhoom 3.[19] He also holds a fifth degree black belt in Taekwondo.[1]

Acting career

In September 2009, Shroff was said to have declined the lead role in the remake of TV show Fauji.[20] In January 2010, it was reported that Subhash Ghai would be launching Shroff in the remake of his father's 1983 film Hero,[21] though Shroff eventually rejected the offer.[22] In May 2011, it was reported that Aamir Khan was also keen on signing Shroff,[23] however, the news was eventually termed as false.[24][25] In June 2012, Shroff was finally signed on by Sajid Nadiadwala to make his debut in Heropanti.[26][27]

Heropanti released on 23 May 2014 and proved to be a box office success, despite mixed reviews from critics.[28][29] For his debut performance, Shroff garnered mainly mixed to positive reviews, with critics predominately praising his dancing skills and ability to perform stunts.[30][31] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama appreciated his performance, saying "[Tiger] registers an impact in several sequences" and that he "scores brownie points in action and stunts". Adarsh also added that "for a first-timer, he exudes supreme confidence",[32] whereas Subhash K. Jha praised him for his versatility, saying "he emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight".[33] However, Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times disagreed, calling his "dialogues forced" and said "his expressions do nothing in a given situation". In spite of terming his performance "a little unconvincing", Kaushal called his action sequences "admirable" and said he's a "great dancer".[34] Furthermore, Anupama Chopra, though noting that he has star-like qualities and "very solid screen presence", called his dialogue delivery "off".[35]

Shroff then appeared in Sabbir Khan's action drama Baaghi, which turned out to be a major box office success grossing over ₹1 billion worldwide.[36] His performance in Baaghi earned him critical acclaim. Bollywood Hungama Network praised his action saying The action [Tiger] performed without use of double body is delight to see.[37] His next release was Remo D'Souza's superhero film, A Flying Jatt, which didn't do as well as his previous movies at the box office. His next film, Munna Michael, is the story of a Michael Jackson fan from the slums, and it also stars Niddhi Agerwal and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. He also has Student Of The Year 2 and Baaghi 2 lined up.
