Tiger Shroff (born 2 March 1990)[1][2] is an Indian film actor and martial artist.[3] He is the son of Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff. He made his debut with Sajid Nadiadwala's film Heropanti, remake of Telugu film "Parugu"[4][5][6] opposite Kriti Sanon.[7][8]

Early life

Shroff was born Jai Hemant Shroff[9] on 2 March 1990[10] to Indian film actor Jackie Shroff and Ayesha (née Dutt). He has one sister, Krishna, who is three years younger.[11][12][13] Shroff's paternal grandparents were Kakubhai Shroff, a Gujarati astrologer, and Rita Shroff, an ethnic Turk.[14][15] Shroff helped Aamir Khan build his physique for Dhoom 3.[16] His maternal grandfather was Air Vice-Marshal Ranjan Dutt, a Bengali, who was married to Claude-Marie de Cavey, a Belgian countess.[17][18][19][20]

Acting career

In September 2009, Shroff was said to have declined the lead role in the remake of TV show Fauji.[21] In January 2010, it was reported that Subhash Ghai would be launching Shroff in the remake of his father's 1983 film Hero,[22] though Shroff eventually rejected the offer.[23] In May 2011, it was reported that Aamir Khan was also keen on signing Shroff,[24] however, the news was eventually termed as false.[25][26] In June 2012, Shroff was finally signed on by Sajid Nadiadwala to make his debut in Heropanti.[27][28]

Heropanti released on May 23, 2014 and proved to be a box office success, despite mixed reviews from critics.[29][30] For his debut performance, Shroff garnered mainly mixed to positive reviews, with critics predominately praising his dancing skills and ability to perform stunts.[31][32] 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",[33] whereas Subhash K. Jha praised him for his versatility, saying "he emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight".[34] 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".[35] Furthermore, Anupama Chopra, though identified his star-like qualities and "very solid screen presence", called his dialogue delivery "off".[36]
