In his short four-year-old career, Tiger Shroff has realised that rather than succumbing to pressures of the industry, moving forward is the right call. Son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff, Tiger said he is in a hurry to create his own identity. He said, “Because of the pressure, I am trying to climb ladders much faster... I'm blessed to be in the position that I am today- to have that acceptance and said that I am my own man, I am not just Jackie Shroff's son. It's what I have set out to do, to create my own identity.”

Pragmatic and self-aware, Tiger is aware of his connection with the youth. “I want to inspire the uninspired. I want to move people and stir some emotion. I want to create a revolution. I have sort of initiated a spark in people. Most of my fans are children. That's a huge booster for me as they are the most honest members in the audience. They are the future of the country and if I am leading them, inspiring them in the right way, it's a right feeling.” Speaking about his failures- 'A Flying Jatt' and 'Munna Michael', he said, “I'm very tough on myself. I'm very emotionally connected to my films and the people who work with on them. When a film doesn't work it sort of puts me in a dark space, until I start working on the next. So, it's a brief period. Learning from my failures had only helped me get better. I've never been as confident as a performer as I am today.”

On the work front, Tiger has the release of 'Baaghi 2' in the near future. “The pressure is on but we have scaled things in every way. It's a beautiful love story to drive everything forward, especially the action. It has an emotional quotient, it's not just a show reel,” Tiger said.
