Tiger Shroff on dance-off with Hrithik Roshan

Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff are popularly known for their dancing skills besides their acting chops. A dance-off between them will be a sheer visual treat. As reported earlier, Hrithik and Tiger are all set to star in Siddharth Anand’s upcoming directorial which is produced under the YRF banner.

In a conversation with a leading Indian tabloid, Tiger was asked about the possibility of a dance-off between him and Hrithik, to which he replied, "Hrithik Roshan is my ultimate hero and I don’t know if I’ll even be able to move when I am sharing the frame with him. I’ll probably just be standing there staring at him. That is how much in awe of him I am. I hope we make magic together."


Previously, when Tiger was asked about the film and his experience working with Hrithik, Tiger said to a leading Indian tabloid, "I was sitting in front of my Rambo director, Siddharth (Anand), and the producer of this film and trying to act cool, I told them, "I'd love to hear the script and take it forward from there." But in my heart I was like, "Forget the script, I'm already on board!" I wanted to jump up and start dancing, right there, right then!"

He further said, "I feel blessed to be working with my idol. There's so much I look forward to, just being around Hrithik sir feels like a victory to me. I will have to give more than 100 percent to the film because he's so particular about everything. I'll also have to work twice as hard just to stand in the same frame as him. Ufff, he's on another level altogether!"

  • The Euphoria actor is leaning on family and friends for support during this difficult chapter.

  • He is determined to keep working, having returned to filming after his diagnosis went public.
  • His condition has presented clear physical challenges, including a decline in muscle function.

These days, you’re more likely to find Eric Dane in a government building than on a film set. The Euphoria and Grey’s Anatomy star was just spotted in Washington D.C., but he wasn't there for a shoot. Turns out he was there for something far more critical, diving headfirst into the fight for ALS awareness after his own diagnosis. This new mission is intensely personal, a push for policy changes that might finally make a difference for people living with this progressive neurological disease.

But for them, it's never about genre. It's all gut feeling. Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of their Barbican show on 3 October, the Lahore-based band opened up about their philosophy, their roots, and why improvisation feels like a conversation, not a performance.
