Tiger Shroff Inspires Everyone: Bharadwaj
Mumbai: Chief commando trainer Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj, who has trained actor Tiger Shroff for action in “Baaghi”, has heaped praise on the actor saying, he is the youngest star who inspires everyone.
Bharadwaj makes his acting debut in Tiger Shroff starrer “Baaghi”, slated to release on April 29.
“Tiger is like my family now. What inspires me about him the most is his honesty and the dignity. Among the young generation, he is biggest thing that has happened to our country,” Bharadwaj told PTI.
“He is the youngest star to inspire people. Tiger has maintained the purity and humility of ‘Kalaripayattu’ (a martial art form) in the film,” he said.
It was easy for Bharadwaj to train Tiger.
“We (Tiger and I) share same values on and off screen. It is not about being easy or tough, it is about being what you are,” he added.
Bharadwaj believes action in films and in general has changed.
“In terms of action (in films and in general in real life) we have evolved (and) we have reached international standards.
Just flying in the air with the help of action doesn’t mean it’s action. It doesn’t impress me as a common man,” Bharadwaj said.
He is keen to promote ‘Kalaripayattu’ through “Baaghi”.
“I am associated with ‘Baaghi’ because we need to promote our own art forms. The forte of Hollywood is commando and army forces, Chinese films shows martial arts form, Korean films is about Taekwondo. India being the pioneer…the mother of all the action in the world we need to show our art forms.
“We have highest form of choreography like ‘Shivtandav’, ‘Rudratandav’ and others. When it comes to art forms like ‘Kalaripayattu’ we have not explored it. It was our responsibility to show it,” he added.
Bharadwaj is hopeful that the audience will relate to action in “Baaghi”.
“We have not used any weapons in the film. He (Tiger) is the weapon. He (Tiger) uses his body and hands, legs. We have spoken about the authenticity of art (Kalaripayattu),” he adds.
Bharadwaj has trained and mentored for some top action films and movie stars and top stunt men as well.
“Camera is nothing it is just a machine. There is nothing like easy or tough, I am a labourer and I will do what you ask me to do. I use my emotions (and) I don’t use my mind.
“For me breaking bones is easy as that is my job. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Sabbir Khan had faith in me and breaking faith of anyone is something I am scared of. I gave my best,” he said.
The Reason Why Jackie Shroff is Tensed About His Son Tiger
Actor Tiger Shroff said that his father actor Jackie Shroff is always tensed about how the audience will accept him.
“My father is always tensed and scared as to how the audience will react – whether they will accept me or not. Being a son of a talented and great actor like him, there is pressure, and there are expectations. He understands that,” Tiger told PTI.
“Every star son has to face this thing. I work very hard to make my father and mother proud. That is my goal,” he added.
Tiger said that his father loved the trailer of his upcoming film Baaghi.
“My family is very happy about this film. My father doesn’t speak much but I could sense that he is very happy. The biggest high for me is when my parents are happy,” said Tiger.
In his debut film Heropanti, Tiger stunned everyone with his action and dancing skills. Now, for his second film Baaghi, the young actor has learnt Kalaripayattu, an ancient martial art form from Kerala.
Chief Commando trainer Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj trained the 26-year-old actor in Kalaripayattu.
In the film as well, Mr Bharadwaj will be seen as Tiger’s trainer.
“Before I met him (Chief Commando Trainer Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bharadwaj), there was pressure. My master is a talented person and practitioner of this art. With Baaghi, we have gone ahead and treated the audience with something new to watch onscreen,” said Tiger.
“I have tried my best to do justice to this art form. Whatever I have learnt so far, I want to up my quotient in action,” he added. Through Baaghi, the makers want to promote the art form practiced by warriors.
“It is about going back to our roots and being proud of what we are. We had martial arts form here but I don’t know why people were not using it. Everybody in the east wants to be like the Wwest and people in the west want to be like the east,” said Tiger.
Its not fair for an actor to take body doubles: Tiger Shroff
MUMBAI : Actor Tiger Shroff, who promises awe-inspiring action scenes in his new film “Baaghi”, says it’s not fair for an actor to take body doubles.
While the concept of body doubles has existed for long in tinsel town, Tiger told IANS: “I did all the stunt scenes myself because I think it’s not fair for an actor to take body doubles. That’s why I worked so hard and did them myself as much as possible.”
“If there was a body double, I would rather allow him to be the hero of the film. It’s not right to take his credit. I tried my best to be honest to the character,” he added.
“Baaghi” brings back the successful team of the 2014 film “Heropanti” — producer Nadiadwala, director Sabbir Khan and actor Tiger. The film, which is releasing on April 29, is a rebellious love story, and features Shraddha with Tiger for the first time on screen.
