With a filmography that ranges from Heropanti, Baaghi and their subsequent sequels, Tiger Shroff has established himself as an action star in the Bollywood industry over the years. The actor is all set to return to doing what he does best with the romantic-action film Heropanti 2 which releases this week. As he gears up for the upcoming theatrical release, Tiger has revealed his goal of breaking into Hollywood. 

Speaking to a leading news portal, Tiger Shroff reacted to a comment made by his sister following the launch of Heropanti 2’s trailer about trying out a Hollywood stint. Responding to the comment, the actor said “that is my eventual goal”. 

Referring to the kinds of action heroes in Hollywood, the actor explained, “There is a void in terms of a young action hero in the West. Tom Cruise, perhaps Jackie Chan, there isn’t an action hero perhaps of my age group.” 

He added, “It’s been a while since you have seen somebody with that skill set, portraying action or the kind of action I do at least unless it’s Spider-Man or something.” 

Interestingly he also revealed that he has representation in Hollywood and has tried auditioning. “That is my goal eventually to sort of get into that space and try my luck in the West. So I have been offered a couple of times. I have auditioned and failed a couple of times in auditions, but I am still trying.” He said. 

The list of Indian actors making headlines for their work in Hollywood includes Ali Fazal, Priyanka Chopra, Dhanush who joined the cast of the upcoming film The Grey Man and Alia Bhatt who recently announced her Hollywood debut alongside Gal Gadot in Heart of Stone. It looks like Tiger Shroff is next in line, ready to start a career overseas. But in the meantime, he’s gearing up for the release of Heropanti 2 alongside Tara Sutaria, Kriti Sanon, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and more. The film releases on April 29.
