A lot has been said and read about the Bollywood debut of Jackie Shroff’s son Tiger with claims that he will be launched by Subhash Ghai to Aamir Khan. However, it was Sajid Nadiadwala who took it upon himself to launch the star son. The launch vehicle of Tiger has been titledHeropanti. The film will be directed by Sabbir Khan.

Talking about the film, Sabbir says, “Tiger’s character in the film will be of a boy who lives life on his own terms. He doesn’t want to and does not follow the set norms that have been laid down. He believes in living a life that is not just ordinary, so he is a little above the ordinary, hence the title Heropanti. Essentially, Heropanti is a romantic action film that despite being an intense love story is also high on action.”

“Right now we have almost finished scripting the film and are just getting something in place for the shoot, which we will start hopefully in a month or so. Post that, we will get into the music of the film and shooting the heavier side. As for the locations that we will be shooting in, we will mostly be shooting in North India,” informs Sabbir.

When quizzed about the lead actress of the film, Sabbir says, “We haven’t yet locked on the lead actress. In fact the entire team here is working on that with auditions and speaking to people; right now though the mindset is to rope in a fresh face.”

What’s ironic is that Jackie Shroff started his Bollywood career in 1982 with Hero, while Tiger will be taking it a step forward with Heropanti.
