Tiger Shroff has carefully and consciously worked his way up as an action hero in the industry in his four-year-long career. For his upcoming film 'Baaghi 2' the actor has reportedly been pulling quite a few stunts of his own. Now, there is buzz that for one scene the actor was required to jump off a cliff, navigate a 120-foot fall through the trees and land on the ground. Not only did he shoot for the scene, he did so without the aid of a body double. Talking about the scene, Tiger said, "The jump was well-timed, so I was quite confident. But the only thing I had to be careful about [during the fall] were the branches of the trees - they were sticking out and would cut into my face during the fall."
Director Ahmed Khan also spoke about the scene, stating, "Tiger had to land on the ground while cutting through a tree, which is dangerous as the branches could cut into his face. I was worried that one gash on his face can destroy his career. We chose a tree that had branches coming down alternately so that it causes minimum damage." When asked why he had chosen to not opt for a body double for the scene, Ahmed said, "When the body double performed the stunt, I was dissatisfied with it. On seeing that, Tiger offered to do the stunt himself. When we were filming, there were 10 things going on in my mind - how he should protect his face, how the branches could injure his eyes. Tiger, on the other hand, was so calm. After the scene, he had badly bruised his back, thighs and elbows." Well, we can already tell that this is going to be one spectacular film. Stay tuned for more updates.
