The last many films of Tiger Shroff have flopped
He currently has no film in hand
Jai Hemant Shroff popularly known as Tiger Shroff is the son of noted film actor Jackie Shroff. Tiger Shroff has been a popular face of Bollywood since his debut film. With no struggle, he has been fortunate enough to taste success in his early days of Bollywood. But presently, the actor is facing a massive fading in his movie career. Tiger Shroff has to take accountability to stay relevant since every film of his can’t work only with action and stunts.
Tiger Shroff debuted in 2014 with Sajid Nadiadwala’s Heeropanti. The movie was also the debut film of actress Kriti Sanon. Heeropanti went on to become a massive commercial hit and became a massive film franchise for producer Sajid Nadiadwala. Sajid Nadiadwala went on to make Heeropanti 2 as well. For Heeropanti, Tiger Shroff won several awards for the Best Debut Male 2014. Tiger who is quite keen on bodybuilding, action, and stunt skills was praised in the movie for action. However, he was severely criticized for his acting performance and dialogue delivery.
In 2016, Tiger Shroff and Sajid Nadiadwala collaborate once again for another action film titled Baaghi. The film starred Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead. Baaghi was another film for Tiger Shroff where he displayed his outstanding action and stunt skills but was criticized for his acting performance. Though Baaghi was a major success and became another action film franchise for the makers.
Post Baaghi, Tiger Shroff had a bit of a struggle at the box office with flop films such as A Flying Jatt, Student of The Year 2, and Munna Michael. But then a fairy-tale kind of affair happened in his career. Tiger was signed for Yash Raj Film’s massive spy film titled ‘War’ which also starred Hrithik Roshan. Released in 2019, War 2 became one of the highest-grossing Hindi films and the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019.
Tiger Shroff once again collaborated with Sajid Nadiadwala in 2020 and released Baaghi 2. Though the film did pretty well business at the box office but the film received poor reviews from the critics. Baaghi 2 remains Tiger Shroff’s last box office success till date.
After the covid pandemic, the taste of Indian audience has changed. They want to see something new.
In 2022, Tiger Shroff went on to star in Heropanti 2 with Kriti Sanon and Sajid Nadiadwala as producers. The film was a massive failure for Tiger Shroff and Sajid. They tasted their first loss together and understood that the audience was looking for something new.
After Heropanti 2, Tiger Shroff and Kriti Sanon went on to star in Ganapath with the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan in a supporting role. Opened generally to negative reviews, Ganapath happened to be a big box office bomb. Made on a budget of 190 crores, the film could not even manage to cross over 10 crores at the box office. The film was directed by Vikas Bahl and produced by Jackky Bhagnani.
In 2024, Tiger Shroff starred in Jackky Bhagnani’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film also starred superstar Akshay Kumar in the lead. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was another action film based on the Indian Army. Tiger Shroff who starred with Hrithik Roshan in army-based film War, thought Bade Miyan Chote Miyan could face the same successful fate of War since both the films revolved around the Indian army and he had another big superstar beside him.
Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was also directed by Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai director Ali Abbas Zafar. The expectations were high for Bade Miyan Chote Miyan since it was a large-scale action film made on a budget of 350 crores. Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was also considered as Akshay Kumar’s comeback film. Even he is witnessing a massive decline in his Bollywood career with continuous flops.
With massive expectations, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan was released on 11 April 2024. Opened generally to negative reviews, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan collected 15 crores on Day 1. By the end of its run at cinemas, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan could not even collect more than 80 crores in India and became a major flop for Tiger Shroff.
Post Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, critics have criticized Tiger Shroff since he is repeating action and stunts in every film and there is no improvement in his acting and gripping story in his films. Tiger Shroff has also been advised to reduce his fees by the critics. Tiger who used to charge 25-30 crores per film has been suggested to take home 8-10 crores per film. He even has no films in the pipeline.
Earlier Pathaan and War director Sidharth Anand had announced Rambo remake with Tiger Shroff. The remake film was set to be directed by Rohit Dhawan and produced by Sidharth Anand. But post Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, the makers are doubting Tiger’s box office pull and reportedly Rambo has been shelved.
Though Tiger is set to play a cameo appearance in Rohit Shetty’s Singham 3. Rohit Shetty’s Singham 3 is another cop film of him from the cop universe. Ajay Devgn is the first actor in Rohit Shetty’s cop universe. Rohit later went on to feature Akshay Kumar and Ranveer Singh as the new cops in the film Sooryavanshi and Simmba. In Singham 3, Rohit Shetty is introducing two new actors in his cop universe, and that is Tiger Shroff and Deepika Padukone. Both the actors will play a cameo role in the film.
The reports also suggest that Tiger Shroff and popular filmmaker Karan Johar can collaborate on a large-scale action film. Tiger and Karan earlier collaborated for Student of the Year 2 which was a decent hit at the box office. While some reports also suggest that Tiger Shroff is set to star opposite Sara Ali Khan in an action film titled ‘Eagle’. Though there has been no official announcement yet.
Besides a guest appearance in Singham 3, Tiger Shroff has no films in their hands. The makers are doubting the film. However, one good film with an engaging story and screenplay can change to fate of Tiger Shroff.
