What’s in a name? Plenty, if you’re asking Tiger Shroff. The name he’s known by, was lost in translation when Karan Johar’s security guard went to inform the filmmaker about his waiting guest: Sher Singh!

Says our source, “Post Heropanti, several filmmakers have called Tiger up, impressed by his acting and action sequences, asking that he come meet them. He has been making the rounds of their offices since, sans reservations. This one time, he landed up at the Dharma Productions office to keep his appointment with KJo. He was asked to wait by the guard on duty, who went on to inform Karan that some Sher Singh had come to meet him. As the name didn’t ring a bell, he asked again, and the guard insisted he remembered the name because of Tiger’s stunts in the film. He ignored the intimation. By and by, Tiger texted Karan, who came out of his cabin to usher him in. The two later had a good laugh about it.”

However, the source from the production office maintains, “The security guard has been with Karan Johar for nearly 40 years and got rather thrown off by the name, Tiger and did a mental translation when he informed Karan of his visitor. The filmmaker was aware of his guard’s issues and so, the moment the name was announced, charged out to welcome Tiger in!”
