Here's why Tiger Shroff doesn't want to work with daddy Jackie Shroff

Tiger Shroff has always maintained that he grew up watching his father Jackie Shroff on screen and that Jackie was his first super-hero. In fact, when the time came for Tiger to make his Bollywood debut, he was offered to star in the remake of Jackie's own debut film 'Hero'. Tiger, however, declined the offer, a decision he later justified stating, "Every son’s first hero is his father. My dad was my first super-hero. I hope I’m not compared to my father. I’ll never allow myself to be put in a place where we can be compared."

In a recent interview with the DNA, the 'Heropanti' star was asked if he would like to share the screen with his father someday. To this, he said, "No way! My father has an overpowering screen presence. He’ll chew me up for breakfast, lunch and dinner without even trying. He dominates every frame that he is in. Who will look at me when he is in the same frame?”

However, in his upcoming film, "Munna Michael', Tiger will be seen paying tribute to Jackie with a song. Talking about this Tiger asserted, "My director (Sabbir Khan) and the character I play in Munna Michael helped me change my mind. And it is thanks to my choreographer Ganesh Acharya, who got me to explore a very different side of my personality that will remind audiences of my father.”

Starring newcomer Nidhhi Agerewal alongside Tiger, 'Munna Michael' is scheduled to hit the theatres on 7th July.
