Tiger Shroff approached to topline a big-ticket Hollywood film

Looks like Tiger Shroff’s popularity is not restricted only to Bollywood. He has impressed people in Hollywood also. According to reports, the young actor has been approached to headline a Hollywood biggie.

Yes, you heard that right!  Hollywood producer, Lawrence Kasanoff, has offered Tiger Shroff a big-ticket Hollywood film. The producer flew to Mumbai over the weekend for a final round of discussions with the actor. Both met at a suburban hotel in Mumbai.


“Along with Larry, a big studio head, some of their associates and Emmy Award-winning writer Sean Catherine Derek of the Batman series had also flown to India. Sanjay Grover, who has been a part of the project for the last one year, was also present at the meetings,” a source says.

The source goes on to add, “Larry shared the script of his film with Sanjay who suggested they bring on board a fresh new face to play the lead and strongly recommended his childhood buddy Tiger with whom he had studied in school, to play the lead. Larry and his team were impressed with Tiger who they felt has an international look, is trained in martial arts, has a large fan following and has age on his side.”

Meanwhile, Tiger Shroff is busy with his upcoming film with Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film is produced by Yash Raj Films.
