Early life

Jai Hemant Shroff was born on 2 March 1990, to Indian film actor Jackie Shroff and his wife Ayesha Shroff (née Dutt).[11] He has a younger sister named Krishna Shroff.[11][12] On his paternal side, he is of Gujarati and Turkmen ancestry[13][14] while from his maternal side, he is of Bengali and Belgian descent.[15][16][17][18]

Shroff is a devout Hindu devotee of Lord Shiva and has attributed his physique to Lord Shiva. He holds a fast every Monday and during every Mahashivaratri festival.[19][20][21] He studied at the American School of Bombay.[22][23]

Due to his experience in martial arts, he has frequently spent time helping other actors train for films.[24][25][26][27][12][28] In 2014, he was awarded an honorary fifth degree black belt in Taekwondo.[29]

Career

In June 2012, Shroff was signed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala to make his film debut in Sabbir Khan's action romantic comedy Heropanti.[30][31] To prepare for the role, he took flexibility training under Ziley Mawai.[32] Released in 2014, Heropanti garnered unfavourable reviews but was a surprising commercial success with gross of ₹726 million (US$9.5 million) worldwide.[33][34] He gained praise for his dancing skills, action sequences, tough physique and for the ability to perform onerous stunts, but was also criticised for his acting, looks and dialogue delivery.[35][36] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama appreciated his performance, saying "Tiger registers an impact in several sequences" and that he "scores brownie points in action and stunts". Adarsh also added that "for a first-timer, he exudes supreme confidence".[37] Subhash K. Jha praised him for his versatility, saying that "he emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight".[38] However, Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times disagreed, calling his "dialogues forced" and said "his expressions do nothing in a given situation". In spite of terming his performance "a little unconvincing", Kaushal called his action sequences "admirable" and said he's a "great dancer".[39] Furthermore, Anupama Chopra, though noting that he has star-like qualities and "very solid screen presence", called his dialogue delivery "off".[40] Shroff's portrayal fetched him the Screen Award for Best Male Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Male in addition to a nomination in the same category at the 60th Filmfare Awards.

In 2015, Tiger Shroff's album “Zindagi Aa Raha Hoon Main” was released and that album was a big hit. It featured Atif Aslam and was directed by Ahmed Khan. Tiger Shroff was praised for his dance skills in the album.

In 2016, Shroff reteamed with Nadiadwala and Sabbir in Baaghi (2016), set against the backdrop of a martial arts school while also featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Sudheer Babu. Earning ₹1.26 billion (US$17 million) in worldwide markets, Baaghi was his first big hit. Tiger Shroff was praised for his actions, stunts and tough physique.[41] Bollywood Hungama praised his action sequences, saying: "The action Tiger performed without use of double body is delight to see."[42] That year he also played a martial arts teacher who gains superpowers, in Remo D'Souza's superhero film A Flying Jatt alongside Jacqueline Fernandez.[43][44] In 2017, Shroff teamed with Sabbir for the third time in the dance film Munna Michael opposite Nidhhi Agerwal.[45] However, both A Flying Jatt and Munna Michael were unsuccessful at the box office.[46]

Establishment and recognition (2018–present)

In 2018, Shroff achieved a turning point in his career and established himself in the industry with Ahmed Khan's Baaghi 2, a spiritual sequel to Baaghi, opposite Disha Patani.[47] Produced by Nadiadwala, the film featured him as an rebellious army officer set on the mission to find his ex-girlfriend's missing daughter. Surpassing initial predictions, Baaghi 2 grossed ₹1.65 billion (US$22 million) net domestically and over ₹2.5 billion (US$33 million) worldwide to become one of the top-grossing Bollywood films of the year.[48]

After the blockbuster success of Baaghi 2, Tiger Shroff's album “Get Ready to Move” was released in 2018. The album was also a hit.

In 2019, Shroff appeared in Punit Malhotra's teen drama Student of the Year 2, his first mainstream romantic drama. Produced by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions, it was the sequel to Student of the Year and saw Shroff portray a college student who competes in an annual school championship.[49] Rajeev Masand of News18 called his performance "the film's singular strength".[50] Ronak Kotecha, from The Times of India, agreed by saying "Tiger Shroff pretty much carries the film on his well-toned shoulders".[51] The film did decently well having a gross worldwide collection of ₹982 million. The expectations were higher but still managed to be a hit film overall.

In October 2019, Shroff starred in Siddharth Anand's action thriller War alongside Hrithik Roshan.[52] The film was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year and ranks as Shroff's highest-grossing release as of February 2020. The worldwide collection for War was 4.75 billion Indian Rupees(US$63 Million) with the highest opening from a Bollywood movie of 530 million Indian Rupees/53.35 crore Indian Rupees. The film emerged as a huge box office and a blockbuster success, becoming the highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2019 and one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time.[8] [53][54]

In March 2020, he starred in the third installment of the Baaghi film series titled Baaghi 3, where he reunited with Shraddha Kapoor. The collections of the films were affected as theatres were shut due to the COVID-19 pandemic but the film managed to become highest first day opener and second highest grosser of 2020 with a worldwide collection of ₹1.37 billion (US$18 million) and with first day collection of ₹0.175 billion (US$2.3 million) at the box office.[55][56][57]

Other work

In 2017, Shroff was brought in as Brand Ambassador and co-owner of Bengaluru Tigers, which is owned by 8K Miles Media Group. The Bengaluru Tigers won third place in the inaugural season of Super Fight League, the first mixed martial arts (MMA) League in India. In 2018, Shroff was also made the Brand Ambassador of Prowl.[58] He is also the brand ambassador of big brands like Pepsi, ASICS India, Casio India, 8PM Premium Black, Macho, Garnier, Forca, Great White Electronic and many more.[59][60][61][62][63]
