Actor Tiger Shroff who has emerged as an action hero in the current generation of Bollywood stars. The actor will be seen in ‘Baaghi 2’ soon. But the actor expressed he did not choose ‘Student of the Year 2’ to break any stereotypes. Tiger made his acting debut in 2014 with ‘Heropanti’.

Before making his debut the actor was often seen doing daredevil stunts off-screen. However, in ‘SOTY 2’, Tiger will move away from his stunt image and transform into a naive student. The film is the sequel to the hit 2012 Karan Johar film. "I am trying something else with 'Student of the Year 2'. That's a complete contrast from 'Baaghi 2'. I am getting bullied and beaten up. Here, it is the opposite.”

The actor further said, "I don't have much action in the film ('Student of the Year 2'). I didn't choose it to break the stereotype. It was an honour to work with Dharma Productions," he said. "It is Karan Johar's baby franchise, his priced possession and he is passing it on to me, so there's an expectation. I take huge pride in taking the legacy forward of 'Student of the Year'.”

The actor concluded by saying, "For me, it's great as an actor to explore different facets. I've never played a regular, normal lover boy. It's like a musical."If I get bullied there, the audience will be surprised. Suddenly after 'Baaghi 2', here I am getting bullied. So for me, that's scoring marks," he added.

‘Baaghi 2’ also stars Disha Patani in the lead. The film will hit the theatres this Friday.
