How Tiger Shroff Became Bollywood’s Ultimate Action Star

Tiger’s next action-packed film was Munna Michael (2017), directed by Sabbir Khan, in which he paid homage to his idol, Michael Jackson

Tiger Shroff, one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, is celebrating his birthday today. Known for his remarkable martial arts abilities and death-defying stunts, Tiger has carved a niche for himself in the world of high-octane action films. Over the years, he has entertained audiences with his impressive skills and dedication to performing his own stunts. On his special day, we take a look at five of his best action-packed films that showcase his incredible talent and have solidified his status as one of the industry’s leading action heroes.
Tiger’s journey into Bollywood began with his debut film Heropanti in 2014. Directed by Sabbir Khan, the film became a massive hit, earning praise for Tiger’s dynamic performance and action sequences.

Tiger’s martial arts skills were put to the test as he tackled intense fight scenes and daring stunts. Heropanti not only introduced Tiger as a force to be reckoned with in Bollywood but also marked the debut of Kriti Sanon, with whom he shared great on-screen chemistry. The film’s slick choreography and action-packed moments made it an instant hit and set the stage for Tiger’s career in action films.
In 2016, Tiger returned to the action genre with Baaghi, which turned out to be a game-changer for his career. Directed again by Sabbir Khan, the film featured some of Tiger’s most intense action sequences to date. A standout moment was the fight scene set in a Bangkok nightclub, which quickly became one of the most memorable action scenes in Bollywood. Tiger’s performance as a rebellious young man who goes to great lengths to rescue his love interest, played by Shraddha Kapoor, received widespread praise. The chemistry between the two actors added to the film’s charm, making it a major commercial success. Baaghi solidified Tiger’s position as one of Bollywood’s leading action stars and led to the creation of an even bigger franchise.

Tiger’s next action-packed film was Munna Michael (2017), directed by Sabbir Khan, in which he paid homage to his idol, Michael Jackson. The film saw Tiger not only showcasing his martial arts skills but also his exceptional dancing abilities. While the dance sequences were a highlight, the action scenes were equally impressive, particularly a thrilling fight scene set in a parking lot. Though the film didn’t quite match the success of Baaghi, it still helped reinforce Tiger’s versatility as an actor capable of seamlessly blending dance and action, adding a unique edge to his filmography.

he second installment of Baaghi (2018) took Tiger’s action game to a whole new level. Baaghi 2, directed by Ahmed Khan, featured even more intense action sequences, including a series of mind-blowing fight scenes that were widely praised. Tiger’s portrayal of Ronny, a daredevil commando on a mission to rescue his ex-girlfriend’s kidnapped daughter, was met with critical acclaim. His athleticism and commitment to performing his own stunts were evident throughout the film. The film also saw Tiger pairing up with Disha Patani, and their sizzling chemistry added to the film’s appeal. Baaghi 2 became one of the highest-grossing films of the year, further cementing Tiger’s reputation as a bankable action hero.

In 2019, Tiger starred in War, one of the biggest blockbusters of the year. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film saw Tiger paired with Hrithik Roshan, one of Bollywood’s most iconic actors. Tiger’s portrayal of Khalid Rahmani, a RAW agent caught in a deadly cat-and-mouse game with Hrithik’s character, was a major highlight of the film. The film’s action sequences were nothing short of spectacular, including a breathtaking fight scene on a moving train, which showcased Tiger’s athleticism and stunt prowess. War was not only a commercial success but also earned critical acclaim for its action, direction, and performances, making it one of Tiger’s career-defining films.

Over the years, Tiger Shroff has become synonymous with high-energy action films that showcase his extraordinary physical abilities. His dedication to performing his own stunts and his commitment to delivering thrilling action sequences has earned him a loyal fanbase. On his birthday, it’s clear that Tiger’s place in Bollywood’s action genre is firmly cemented, and fans can look forward to many more exciting films from this talented star.
