Early career
In June 2012, Shroff was signed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala to make his film debut in Sabbir Khan’s action romantic comedy Heropanti. To prepare for the role, he took flexibility training under Ziley Mawai. Released in 2014, Heropanti garnered unfavourable reviews but was a surprising commercial success with gross of ₹726 million (US$9.5 million) worldwide. He gained praise for his dancing skills, action sequences, tough physique and for the ability to perform onerous stunts, but was also criticised for his acting, looks and dialogue delivery. Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama appreciated his performance, saying “Tiger registers an impact in several sequences” and that he “scores brownie points in action and stunts”. Adarsh also added that “for a first-timer, he exudes supreme confidence”. Subhash K. Jha praised him for his versatility, saying that “he emotes, he dances and yes, he can fight”. However, Sweta Kaushal of Hindustan Times disagreed, calling his “dialogues forced” and said “his expressions do nothing in a given situation”. In spite of terming his performance “a little unconvincing”, Kaushal called his action sequences “admirable” and said he’s a “great dancer”. Furthermore, Anupama Chopra, though noting that he has star-like qualities and “very solid screen presence”, called his dialogue delivery “off”. Shroff’s portrayal fetched him the Screen Award for Best Male Debut and the IIFA Award for Star Debut of the Year – Male in addition to a nomination in the same category at the 60th Filmfare Awards.
In 2015, Tiger Shroff’s album “Zindagi Aa Raha Hoon Main” was released and that album was a big hit. It featured Atif Aslam and was directed by Ahmed Khan. Tiger Shroff was praised for his dance skills in the album.
In 2016, Shroff reteamed with Nadiadwala and Sabbir in Baaghi (2016), set against the backdrop of a martial arts school while also featuring Shraddha Kapoor and Sudheer Babu. Earning ₹1.26 billion (US$17 million) in worldwide markets, Baaghi was his first big hit. Tiger Shroff was praised for his actions, stunts and tough physique. Bollywood Hungama praised his action sequences, saying: “The action Tiger performed without use of double body is delight to see.” That year he also played a martial arts teacher who gains superpowers, in Remo D’Souza’s superhero film A Flying Jatt alongside Jacqueline Fernandez. In 2017, Shroff teamed with Sabbir for the third time in the dance film Munna Michael opposite Nidhhi Agerwal. However, both A Flying Jatt and Munna Michael were unsuccessful at the box office.
