Tiger Shroff: I want to create my own legacy

Tiger Shroff is not worried about being compared to his actor father Jackie as he believes in creating his own legacy.

 Tiger Shroff is not worried about being compared to his actor father Jackie as he believes in creating his own legacy. The young star says he and his father are two different people with different personalities. “I want to create my own legacy, my own space. The first time I ever performed on a show, the judges were Farah Khan and Annu Malik. 

 “They said ‘You should be Hrithik’s brother or  Govinda’s son the way you dance’. But I have an identity of my own. My father and I are very different people with different personalities,” 

Tiger told PTI when asked if he ever bothers to outdo his father’s legacy.

The Baaghi actor says despite his vast experience in Bollywood, Jackie never interferes in his career. “It does help having someone like him around but he has never involved himself in my career, not at all. He never does that nor ever will. But because I am his son, I think I got recognition from a very early age, that ‘He is Jackie’s son’.” The actor says he enjoys outings with his father as they get equal attention by their fans.

Ranbir Kapoor is All Praises For His Ex-Girlfriend Katrina Kaif

Katrina has worked very hard on the film. The film is hers as much as it is mine. We will promote it really well, and release it well too. When we make a film, we make it with lots of love and sincerity. We would like to put it across in the best way possible.

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif will next be seen in Anurag Basu‘s Jagga Jasoos, and if the trailer is anything to go by, the movie is going to be amazing! The duo had a rather public breakup but continue to be cordial with each… and more recently, Ranbir was all praises for his co-star and ex girlfriend’s performance in the film. Here’s what he told Filmfare.

Pallavi Sharda: There was an attempt to Bollywoodise me, but I resisted it

Your beginning in Bollywood was rather bumpy. It hasn't been an easy ride for you. Do you think 'Begum Jaan' will change the course of your career in Bollywood?

I didn't see it in that manner when I signed the film because I was working overseas when Srijit contacted me. I had an interesting kitty of indie and non-indie films, but there was something special about 'Begum Jaan'. It's only after seeing the trailer that I realised that it is larger than life. It is very rare to see something transcending the script on screen. And that for me, is a fulfilling experience.

The film conveys a strong message...

It is about dignity, which women don't assert, fearing backlash from patriarchy. When you say 'my rules' in the context of India, patriarchy comes in — whose rules are they? It is a complex matter. I am still trying to understand how the conversation on self-determination can be taken forward. But I think aspiration is a great word and that's what women in this film stand for. Many young women who hail from less fortunate backgrounds don't have aspiration and that makes me sad.

Does the movie reiterate the idea that in reality, there is no country for women? They are marginalised everywhere...

We have had a male-dominated government and bureaucracy for the longest time and it's still a reality. Somebody recently asked me, 'Is feminism an overused word?' I said, 'We have the responsibility of keeping the flag flying high even if the word is taken out of context at times; we cannot be complacent'. Women's liberation started in the 1920s, which means we are only a hundred years into fighting for our right to equality. So for me, it highlights something which was and is still a reality.
