Is Tiger Shroff On His Way To Become A Bigger Action Hero Than Salman Khan

Tiger Shroff's recent film Baaghi 2 is having a dream run at the box-office. Not only in India but in abroad as well, Baaghi 2 is bringing in record numbers and the 100 Crore target is just a couple of days away and the film is showing no signs of slowing down. Baaghi 2 is Tiger Shroff's 5th film and all of his films have been predominantly in the action genre. Baaghi, Baaghi 2 and Heropanti have been certified box-office hits and have established Tiger as an action hero.

As dominant action heroes of the 90s, Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar, Sunny Deol are aging, it seems like the action genre is in safe hands now with Tiger leading the pack. Tiger also has a fan following in hundreds of millions and rarely such kind of stardom has been seen for such a young star who hasn't even completed 5 years in the industry. The question is, is he on his way to become an even bigger action hero than Salman Khan?

Action Zone: Unlike his competition, Tiger has mostly stayed in the action zone since the start of his career. From his debut in Heropanti to his latest release Baaghi 2, Tiger has comfortably slipped into the shoes of an action hero and with every film, he gets better. Even his upcoming films will have heavy doses of action. While Salman Khan has aced his action roles, he did films in other genres as well at the start of his career.

Body/Flexibility: While Salman Khan has given the audience goals on bodybuilding, Tiger on the other hand, with a much leaner and meaner physique captures the imagination of today's youth. Muscles and not bulk which gives flexibility as well and his athletic figure is the new trend today.

Skills: Tiger is a certified martial arts artist now, he has a 5ht degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. Apart from this, he is trained in other forms of martial arts such as Kalaripayattu, modern kung fu, Krav maga, silat which normally takes 10 years for a person to learn. Salman has aced his action no doubts on that, but Tiger has got the skills. 

Franchise Success: Not a single young actor boasts of a successful franchise and even Salman started being a part of franchise films in this decade itself. Tiger's Baaghi and Baaghi 2 have been huge earners and he will also be seen in the remake of Rambo which is also touted to be a franchise. 

Controversy-free: Controversies have always followed the Bhai of Bollywood while Tiger has won over his fans, the critics, and the audiences with his humility, work ethic, and hard work. He has been controversy-free till now.
