Tiger Shroff to set up Mixed Martial Arts schools across India

Over the course of the coming two years, Tiger Shroff plans to open 12 Mixed Martial Arts training institutes across the country. According to reports, Tiger Shroff has collaborated with entrepreneur and filmmaker Imtiaz Khatri to set-up these institutes. Tiger plans to launch the first school in Bandra where he resides.

Confirming the news, a jubilant Tiger revealed, "I’m happy to associate with Imtiaz on a project which is close to both our hearts. I am and will always be a student of mixed martial arts which is the fastest growing sport globally. Since my first movie, Heropanti, I’ve wanted to give something back to young people who have showered me with so much love and there’s no better way to do that than giving them a safe place to learn this amazing sport and channelise their energy in a disciplined way."

Imtiaz, who has been friends with Tiger for over four years now said, "The plan is to set up 12 studios over two years. Tiger, a mixed martial arts exponent himself, is actively participating in the planning and execution. We are aiming to start operations within three months."

Imtiaz revealed that the duo has zeroed in on a 3000-squarefeet space in Bandra and have started with the interiors. When quizzed regarding Tiger's involvement once the institute stars, Imtiaz signed off saying, "He is willing to do so but he has a full-fledged acting career that keeps him busy."
