Indian actor Tiger Schroff is the second generation of actors in the dynasty. His father Jackie Schroff is one of the famous Bollywood actors. He was one of the first to create images of superheroes on the screen, and the son from childhood dreamed of being like him. Now the young actor performs all the complicated tricks in films himself - his dream has come true.
Biography
The actor's real name is Jai Hemant, and Tiger is his pseudonym. The actor was born in Bombay in 1990. His mother Ayesha Dutt was a model, and then her husband attracted her to work in the cinema, and she became a producer. Therefore, fate itself Tiger was destined to become an actor.
Schroff Jr. received his education at the American School, where he taught theatrical art. He was very fond of dancing and sports and was happy to devote himself to these activities, but the family tradition won. However, he still received a black belt of the fifth degree in Taekwondo.
Movie career
Tiger made his film debut in the film The Right to Love. In this tape, he played with the young actress Criti Sanon. They made a wonderful duet, and for this work Schroff received the Indian Filmfare Awards, and was also awarded in the category "Best Debut of the Year".
This success did not infect Tiger with star disease. On the contrary, the actor began to carefully choose roles, so as not to disappoint the audience. Therefore, the next role he gets only after two years. But what a role! In the action movie "Rebel" (2016), Schroff showed everything that he is capable of in terms of acting and in terms of sports training.
His efforts were not in vain: the film was watched all over the world, the hero of Tiger captivated the audience, and the box office exceeded nineteen million dollars. Critics compared the role of Schroff with the performance of Jackie Chan - the same expression, pressure and sense of justice were felt in his hero.
In the same year, the actor starred in the movie "Flying Jatt", where he creates the image of a superhero and thereby fulfills his childhood dream. The film turned out to be quite good, but it was made completely according to Western templates, so it was not very successful. The audience also did not express great enthusiasm about the plot - except perhaps the very idea of a cowardly superhero.
However, failure does not bother Schroff, because he has a few trump cards left. One of them is the ability to dance. He starred in music videos, was a member of the entertainment program of the beauty contest "Miss India" in 2016.
Dancing came in handy in the movies: in 2017, the movie “Moonna Michael” was released, where Tiger played a loyal fan of Michael Jackson. The hope that the famous director Sabir Khan will make a high-quality film did not materialize, and this film also did not succeed.
However, the actor had a great opportunity to star in a film that will fully reveal his potential, and he took advantage of it: in 2018 the film "Rebel 2" was released, which viewers and critics recognized as successful.
