Axe kicks, butterfly kicks, uppercuts, and jabs—name it, and Tiger Shroff has done it all in the seven years since he made his debut with Heropanti (2014). Not one to rest, the action-star is raising the bar in the sequel of the Sajid Nadiadwala production.  A trade source informed that Jr Shroff has wrapped up some adrenaline-fuelled sequences in just five days after the second lockdown was lifted. “[Under the guidance of] action director Parvez Shaikh, Tiger and Nawazuddin [Siddiqui] shot some high-octane sequences, which also included a car blast. The film has been planned on a grand scale with stunts that are different from Tiger’s usual style, for which he trained under fitness expert Rajendra Dhole.”

Shroff will take off overseas in September to can some chase scenarios. “Before the crew heads for the international shoot, the production house will get everyone vaccinated,” says the source, adding that the initial plan was to shoot across 10 countries, but “now the decision will depend on travel restrictions imposed in other countries”.
