The ‘Baaghi’ actor would rather have the stuntman be the lead in the film as it’s “not right to take his credit”

Actor Tiger Shroff, who promises awe-inspiring action scenes in his new film Baaghi, says he’s done all the stunts himself.

While the concept of body doubles has existed for long in films, Shroff said: “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 Shroff’s debut film Heropanti, producer Nadiadwala, director Sabbir Khan and the actor. The film, which releases in India on April 29, is a love story and features Shraddha [Kapoor] opposite Shroff for the first time on screen.

Grandmaster Shifuji Shaurya Bhardwaj has mentored Shroff extensively in Kalaripayattu [an ancient Indian martial art discipline] and the power-packed action sequences before he started shooting for Baaghi.

Bhardwaj, who was extremely impressed by Shroff’s hard work, says it was an emotional journey for him.

“When I was roped in, it was my responsibility and liability to prove Tiger at his best.”
