Tiger Shroff sneaks into Gaiety theatre

Tiger Shroffs post-debut film Baaghi has opened to a welcoming audience. The films young leading man is being praised for his action scenes and dancing. On Friday night Tiger slipped into Mumbais massy single-theatre Gaiety to gauge the audiences response.

What Tiger Shroff witnessed left him speechless. Says the grateful actor, "I went in disguise, half-hoping at least some would recognize me. Luckily I was so well disguised that nobody recognized me. My heart was racing like a speeding car. I havent heard this much whistling in the theatre since my song and dance Whistle Bajaa in my debut film Heropanti."

Audiences are comparing his dancing and action scenes to Hrithik Roshan. Tigers senior Riteish Deshmukh has labeled him the Van Damme of India.

Tiger cant stop being grateful. "To be compared with Hrithik Sir is the biggest compliment ever. But I cannot accept it. There can only be one Hrithik Roshan. As for Riteish Sirs compliment he is just being too too kind. I honestly didnt expect so much love. But we did work very hard. So I am just relieved the audience has appreciated our effort."

A few days before the release of Baaghi an interview where Tiger Shroff was quoted making reactionary statements on the kind of woman hed like to marry, threatened to mar his films success. But all is well.

"To be very honest, the whole thing was blown out of proportions. I can never disrespect women. I am incapable of being rude, sarcastic or condescending about any human being. I can never play a character who disrespects women."
