Tiger Shroff: Being identified as action hero enough for me

Mumbai: Actor Tiger Shroff, who has emerged as one of the most bankable young stars in Bollywood, has said that being identified as an action hero is more than enough for him.
“I enjoy doing action films. Today, whatever I have achieved is because of the films I have done, primarily the action films. All my inspirations like Jackie Chan and Hrithik Roshan have been big action heroes. So, I am inspired to be like them and I am inspired to do things like them,” said Tiger, while interacting with the media at the success meet of his new release “War” on Friday in Mumbai. He was accompanied by his co-stars in the film, Hrithik Roshan and Vaani Kapoor, and te film’s director Siddharth Anand.
On his action hero tag, he added: currently, my peers are doing such amazing work, so how does one create an identity for oneself? I just want to create my own identity. When people identify me as an action hero, for me that’s more than enough.” Tiger’s past action hits include “Heropanti”, “Baaghi”, “A Flying Jatt” and “Baaghi 2”. He will next be seen doing heavy-duty action in “Baaghi 3” and the Bollywood remake of the cult Hollywood hit, “Rambo”.
