Tiger Shroff opens up about sticking to action genre

Tiger Shroff is riding high on the riotous success of his latest film War. Also starring Hrithik Roshan and Vaani Kapoor in lead roles, the action entertainer has already garnered more than Rs. 200 crores at the domestic box-office and is now racing towards the coveted Rs. 300 crore club.

Tiger has also started shooting for his next film Baaghi 3 with Shraddha Kapoor. Directed by Ahmed Khan and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Baaghi 3 is the third instalment of the super successful Baaghi franchise. Post Student of the Year (2019), the young actor is glad to have returned to his home turf - action.


In an interview, Tiger Shroff said that his fans do not like to see him in roles which are not in action space. Giving the example of SOTY 2, the actor said that his fans did not like him being bullied by college students in the film. “SOTY 2 recovered the money but didn't fare as well as we had hoped for. I had a lot of feedback. Ahmed sir and the producer were kind enough to hear my suggestions,” shared Tiger.

Responding to critics’ views that he plays safe with the action genre, Tiger said that everyone is so competitive around that an actor needs to exploit his strengths to the maximum. “I cannot be compared to anyone else in my generation in the genre of films that I do. I would never dare to compete with Varun Dhawan or Ranveer Singh. I cannot do comedy like them. So, it is fair to say that I am good in my space. I am choosing roles that display my action abilities.”

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
