Tiger Shroff, who rose to fame in Bollywood with his debut film “Heropanti” in 2014, is currently struggling to maintain his previous charm among audiences. Over the last three years, he has faced a series of box office failures, with three of his films, including the recent “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” featuring Akshay Kumar, failing to captivate the audience and tanking at the box office. This has raised concerns about the impact of these flops on his career, and there are now reports that one of his upcoming projects has been shelved.
About the Shelved Project
The film that has reportedly been halted is titled “Hero No. 1”. Directed by Jagan Shakti and produced by Vasu Bhagnani, this project had completed about 20% of its shooting. Initially, the remaining portions were set to be filmed after the release of “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan” in April. However, following significant financial losses incurred by Vasu’s company, Pooja Entertainment, due to their recent flop, they are currently unable to invest in “Hero No. 1”. Consequently, this film has been put on hold.
Current Updates on the Director
While there has been no official confirmation regarding the shelving of “Hero No. 1,” reports suggest that director Jagan Shakti has already begun working on a different project featuring Ajay Devgn. Produced by Luv Ranjan, this new venture is expected to start filming in December this year.
Previous Shelved Films
This is not the first instance of Tiger Shroff’s projects getting shelved. Earlier, films like “Screw Dheela” and “Rambo” faced similar fates, and there are currently no updates about their revival. Tiger has indeed faced a challenging phase in his career with multiple project setbacks.
Flop Films in the Last Three Years
In addition to “Bade Miyan Chote Miyan,” two other films in the last three years have failed to impress. Firstly, “Heropanti 2,” a sequel to his debut film, never managed to recreate the magic of its predecessor and was labeled a flop at the box office. Secondly, “Ganpath: Part 1,” released in 2023, featured notable actors like Kriti Sanon and Amitabh Bachchan, yet it too failed to attract audiences to theaters.
Future Projects
Despite the recent setbacks, Tiger Shroff has some upcoming projects to look forward to. Notably, he is set to appear in “Singham Again,” directed by Rohit Shetty, which is the third installment of the popular “Singham” franchise. The film, slated for release in late 2024, boasts a star-studded cast, including Ajay Devgn, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, and Arjun Kapoor. However, Tiger is expected to make only a cameo appearance rather than a leading role.
Conclusion
As Tiger Shroff navigates this tumultuous phase in his career, it remains to be seen how he’ll bounce back from the setbacks. The film industry is known for its unpredictability, and many stars have faced challenges before staging a successful comeback. Fans are hopeful that his upcoming roles, especially in “Singham Again,” will reignite his charm and return him to the top of Bollywood.
