EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: Tiger Shroff Talks About Nidhi, Nawazuddin, Jackie & Lots More
SpotboyE.com caught up with action star, Tiger, on the sets of his upcoming film, Munna Michael, and the youngster was brimming with excitement...
Munna Michael is
your third film with Sabbir Khan...
Yes, and I have a
very special equation with him. He is one of the key people who has been
instrumental in shaping my career. I remember he broached Munna Michael with me
even before we had completed Baaghi.
And the other one
is Sajid Nadiadwala, who introduced you in Heropanti and followed it by casting
you in Baaghi & Baaghi 2...
Of course, and he
is a gem of a person. Whenever in doubt, I turn to him.
Nadiadwala is
trying to form the future of Bollywood by backing certain youngsters...
I am so happy doing Munna Michael, which is a tribute to my childhood hero
Michael Jackson.
How did you react when Jackson passed away?
I was
heartbroken. But honestly, I think he is immortal. He never misused his power,
there was so much of positivity about him.

Do you still hear
his songs and see his dances?
Of course, I do
(pauses).
Go on...
I remember when I
was younger, I used to lock myself in my room and try to dance like Jackson. I
loved doing that.
Why not do it in
an open room?
I am a very shy
person.
Did your Mom and
Dad know what you were up to?
(Laughs) No, I
don't think so.
Munna Michael is also a tribute to your Dad (Jackie Shroff)...
Yes, we shot in
Teen Batti where he lived before he entered films, and I was amazed.
Coming to my dad, his roots are very firm. He gets along with everybody on
the set. People love him and I am so proud of that. He is so humble and still
the same.
Recently, you said that you won't share screen space with him because his
handsome personality will gobble you up
I still do.
But I think you both will look good together...
Hmmm... maybe sometime later we work together.
Is Munna Michael
complete?
No, about 30 per cent of it is yet to be shot.
How is it working with Nawaz?
He gives you an
unexpected reaction in every scene, he won't do the obvious. This in turn
throws you off, but mind you in a good way. All said and done, the scenes in
question get enhanced.
For his fans, Munna Michael is his first mainstream commercial cinema. He
dancing with me is going to be a treat to watch.

Wasn't it difficult for him to match steps with you?
Hmmm... Initially he was saying that. But once the cameras rolled, he used to
get into his elements and besharami se he did everything. He is brilliant.
Munna Michael is
your leading lady Nidhi Agarwal's first splash in Bollywood. How is your
equation with her?
Good, she is a
very sincere and hardworking girl.
Did you lose patience
if a retake had to be taken because of her?
I try and
understand that not too long ago, I was in her shoes. Moreover, the janta is
never bothered about how many retakes were done for a particular scene. The end
product is turning out well, that's all that matters.
Action is your forte. Who would you rate as the best in the business?
Bruce Lee, he
started it all. And Jackie Chan, who I think deserved a lot better than he got;
such a mild personality but yet so inspiring.
Dancing too is
your forte. Who do you admire among the good dancers in Bollywood?
Hrithik Roshan is
the best dancer we have. I also love Shahid Kapoor's dancing.
What's next after Munna Michael?
Student Of The Year 2 and Baaghi 2.

How do you relate to the fact that Ahmed Khan and not Sabbir will direct Baaghi
2?
Ahmed Khan is a
fantastic choreographer. He brings almost every song alive.
Isn't it tough to
maintain the body 365 days a year with the kind of hardcore diet and workouts
you do?
Not really. I
have a good support system in the form of my nutrionist, physical trainer and
dance teacher.
You continue
doing deadly stunts and kicking. Never thought of holding yourself back from
the danger involved?
I will not give
my 100 per cent if I hold myself back. Besides, I have got used to such
stuff. Ab koi khatra nahi hai.
