When his debut film Heropanti (2014) released, it earned Rs 72.6 crore, unheard of for a newcomer. The Baaghi series (2016-) has been a blockbuster too, having collected 524 crore. Jai Hemant Shroff started being called 'Tiger' by his father Jackie, because as a baby, he used to bite everyone. Today, by the admission of even his co-stars, Tiger bites into every single role wholeheartedly.
Kriti Sanon, his leading lady from his debut film to his last release, Ganapath (2023) which was, incidentally, his lowestearning film ever-has this to say: "Once Tiger is convinced that something has to be done, there is no doubt that he will raise the bar when he finally does it. Whether it is a challenging action sequence or a complicated dance routine, once he knows he has to do it, he will ace it! So many times, he has actually mastered a dance step in just one go and then is assisting the choreographers in helping others do it! He's always that good student in a classroom who will master a math problem and then teach the weaker students!" On his part, Tiger admits that he wants to "be his own competition", adding, "I want to prove myself with every film! I want to entertain people better, push myself more and more. The audiences have accepted me as an action hero and that's what they expect of me.
