NEW DELHI: After the first look of Heropanti, assumptions were that Tiger Shroff cannot beat what his father used to be. But Junior Shroff’s action packed debut has not only earned him fame but the 5th degree black belt as well, from South Korea.
He was honored with the 5th degree black belt on July 30th. Kukkiwon-World Taekwondo Headquarters (part of the South Korean government) decided to present Tiger with this honor after some officials saw him doing stunning action sequences and martial arts in his Bollywood debut film Heropanti.
The reason is that Kukkiwon believed that Tiger is a youth icon who can inspire children and women to take up martial arts for self defense.
Tiger is excited about the honor, and accepted it, though he feels he is very young for the privilege and has a lot to learn. For him martial arts is his passion and a way of life.
He has been active in dancing and martial arts since childhood and acting is just the consequence of both. In an interview to Bollywood Hungama he said, “Since childhood, I used to be into martial arts, gymnastics and I still love dancing. I had a lot of film offers since young age, so I thought, why not transfer my skills into this industry and do a role that helps me utilize all of my strengths.”
Tiger has other film projects in the pipeline. He will be doing his next with Sabbir Khan, the director of Heropanti again. Interestingly, the film will again be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. Tiger is in a three-year contract with Nadaidwala’s production house. After that he will do a film produced by Ekta Kapoor and directed by choreographer-turned director Remo D’Souza. It’s rumored that Tiger has been paired with Shraddha Kapoor in both these films.
