Details

Tiger Shroff is the new superstar in making

His last two films, 'A Flying Jatt' and 'Munna Micheal', may have failed at the box office but that did not affect Tiger's popularity in any way. With 'Baaghi 2', he has become the only gen-next actor to cross the Rs. 25 crore mark on day one. It should be noted here that 'Baaghi 2' has been panned by most of the critics.
