Tiger Shroff is all set to play a sportsperson in Vikas Bahl’s upcoming sports drama, Ganpat. The project which is in the discussion will see Tiger in boxer’s avatar for the first time.
While Tiger also has a Hindi remake of Rambo to shoot it has been reported that this sports film will be the first to kick start post the lockdown.
A source was quoted by the publication, “Ganpat is essentially a sports drama set in Mumbai with Tiger playing a boxer for the first time. Vikas Bahl has been working on the script for a while now and Tiger, who loves MMA, wrestling and boxing, was looking to do a film in this space. When Vikas narrated the script to him, it was an instant ‘yes’ from Tiger Shroff.”
There are also reports that Tiger has already begun preparing for the role.
As per the information, the film will be a two-part franchise and will feature international boxers. Ganpat will be an emotional journey of the father-son relationship and the makers are still looking for a senior actor for the father’s role.
The source added, “Ganpat will be a two-film franchise, tracing the journey of Ganpat from a Mumbai boy to a world class boxer. Though it’s an action-packed film, at its core it’s an underdog story like Super 30, with an emotional father-son subplot. The search is on for a senior actor to play Tiger’s onscreen father.”
Besides Ganpat, Tiger Shroff also has Heropanti 2 in his kitty.
