As is the norm with Bollywood’s action fares, Heropanti 2 is centred on leading man Tiger Shroff and his stunts. However, Tara Sutaria, who plays Shroff’s love interest in the movie, insists her character Inaaya isn’t “the typical bubbly girl” that one sees in such offerings.

She elaborates, “This is Ahmed’s [Khan, director] first film where the girl has more [dialogues] than Tiger. Inaaya has an opinion on everything, speaks fast and is quite loud. Sometimes, she might be irritating, but we have tried to make her endearing. Towards the end of the film, you will understand why Inaaya is like that.”

Only three films old in the industry, Sutaria says she enjoys masala potboilers like Heropanti 2. “This is a massy film. You don’t need months of prep for such movies. I enjoy doing such fun films. Inaaya is different from the real me; the only similarity is that we both are strong women.”

Her latest release reunites her with her first co-star after Student Of The Year 2 (2019). “Tiger hasn’t changed as a person at all. I consider my co-actors my friends, whether we are approaching a scene together or when doing promotions.”
