Tiger Shroff, who is all set to step into Sylvester Stallone's shoes for the Hindi remake of 'Rambo' is extremely excited, even though there is ample of time before the film goes on floors.
Talking about Sidharth Anand directorial, Tiger said, "I was over the moon when the offer came along. I've grown up watching Sylvester Stallone films. The word 'action' conjures up images of guys like him and Bruce Lee in my mind. I'm not stepping into his shoes; I'm paying him a tribute with the Rambo remake. I feel like I am up for the challenge. Subconsciously, I've been preparing for it all my life. He put out a lovely tweet to wish us. It felt like a dream come true."
Talking about the character, Tiger said, "It's the mental turmoil of the character that will be the real challenge. I haven't started prep yet since I have to complete the work on 'Baaghi 2' and 'Student of the Year 2' before 'Rambo' rolls. It will be one of the most physically and mentally draining films I've ever done. Other than his physicality, the fact that the character has gone through so much at a young age, bringing those experiences to life will be a challenge."
Tiger, who is all set to start working on 'Baaghi 2' in the coming month revealed that working on the sequel was a homecoming of sorts for him. Explaining further, Tiger added, "I'm looking forward to collaborating with Sajid sir and Ahmed sir. Of course, I'll miss Sabbir sir. But I'm working with him on 'Munna Michael' so it's not such a bad feeling. Few people can pull off what he can so I'm looking forward to what his take on Baaghi will be. Sajid sir is like a father figure for me so I know I'm in safe hands."
When quizzed about his upcoming 'Student of the Year 2', Tiger revealed, "It will see me in a completely different look. It's a huge responsibility because it's Karan sir's baby. The original Student... did so well so I can't let the team down."
