For Tiger Shroff you have to say, ‘don’t work hard’: Ahmed Khan

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff has emerged as a star in his own right over the last decade. His skills with regard to filming action sequences and dancing remain unquestioned. Critics have however pointed out that there is scope for improvement in the domain of acting. Ahmed Khan who had directed the Tiger Shroff-starrer ‘Bhaagi-2’ however defended the actor amidst the criticism. Usually, people say, ‘You have to work hard, but for Tiger you have to say, ‘Mehnat mat kar!’ (Don’t work hard). Now, what advice would you give him? He comes on time, he has got no problem on sets, he will do whatever you ask him to. Ek actor ko kya chahiye? (What does an actor need?) Does he have a body? Yes. Looks? Yes. Can he dance? Yes. Can he do action? Yes. Acting? Usko kaunsi Ardh Satya karni hai, ya Garam Masala jaisi art film karni hai (He doesn’t have to do art films such as Ardh Satya or Garam Masala),” Ahmed said in an interaction with Siddharth Kannan.

Ahmed also pointed out that Tiger Shroff was likely to improve on fronts in which he’s lagging. “He does commercial films. This is what is called learning. Every hero has gone through this journey, and everyone learns this way. He will bounce back next year, because this is a phase every actor goes through, there’s no reason to panic. Tiger Shroff is just one turn away,” Ahmed added. Tiger Shroff is expected to feature in a cameo in Singham Again which would release later this year.
