Bollywood`s youngest action superstar, Tiger Shroff, who has built an action empire with the uber-successful Baaghi franchise and movies like Heropanti and War, is all set to push the boundaries of Indian action cinema once again. The actor has been signed for acclaimed filmmaker Ram Madhvani`s upcoming spiritual action thriller, touted to be a genre-bending project that promises to showcase Tiger in an avatar audiences have never witnessed before.
More about the film and Tiger`s role
As per reports, Tiger will undergo extensive preparation for this ambitious film, which is scheduled to go on floors in the second quarter of 2026, with a significant portion of the production being shot in Japan, adding an international flavour to what is being described as a never-before-attempted concept in Indian cinema.
Tiger is the first actor to be onboarded, and the hunt for the film`s female lead and another A-list actor to play the villain is still on. Sources close to the development have revealed that Tiger is extremely excited about the project, as it will present him in an entirely new light, unlike the high-octane action-hero persona he`s perfected over the years through the Baaghi series and other blockbusters. He is also excited, as the role will be yet another opportunity to further refine his action capabilities.
This film marks a significant departure from conventional Bollywood action films and is designed for global audiences, not just the Indian diaspora.
More about the team behind the film
The collaboration brings together an impressive creative team, with Neerja director Ram Madhvani helming the project in partnership with producer Mahaveer Jain, who is also developing the much-hyped Naagzilla with Karan Johar and Mrighdeep Singh Lamba. Buzz suggests that both Ram Madhvani and Mahaveer Jain, along with their respective teams, are currently working on the film`s first look, which is expected to be unveiled soon, along with the official announcement.
For Tiger Shroff, who has established himself as Bollywood`s youngest action superstar, this spiritual action thriller offers an opportunity to evolve beyond traditional action cinema and cement his status as a versatile performer capable of anchoring groundbreaking projects with massive scale and ambition.
