Dedication
To

This

underwent
flexibility
and
motion
training
for
his
first
film.
He
trained
under

a

to

back

First
Actor
Launched
By
Sajid
Sajid
Nadiadwala
told
in
an
interview,
"Tiger
is
the
first
actor
I'm
launching
in
my
entire
career
as
a
producer.
So
I
feel
responsible
about
it,".
He
too
is
said
to
be
nervous
about
the
movie's
performance
as
he
has
known
Tiger
all
his
life.
Parent's
Expectation
At
his
film's
trailer
launch,
Jackie
Shroff
confessed
about
his
nervousness
while
mum
Ayesha
got
emotional
when
she
saw
her
son
on
the
big
screen.
It
is
reported
that
Tiger's
dad
got
so
emotional
when
his
son
was
signing
his
first
film
that
he
broke
into
tears.
This
moment
was
apparently
captured
by
producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala.
It
is
said
that
Sajid
will
be
using
the
footage
during
the
end-titles
of
the
film.
New
Best
Friend
He
helped
Aamir
Khan
during
his
gym
workout
sessions
for
his
role
in
Dhoom
3.
The
two
got
so
close
that
Aamir
wanted
to
produce
Tiger's
debut
film.
But
since
that
didn't
work
out,
Aamir
released
the
trailer
of
Heropanti.
Didn't
Plan
On
Being
An
Actor
Tiger
Shroff
was
more
of
a
sports
person
and
a
trained
martial
artist
before
he
decided
to
take
the
plunge
in
acting.
Biggest
Fan
Author
Chetan
Bhagat
is
usually
found
giving
ill-advice
to
everybody
through
his
tweets
but
when
he
bumped
into
Shroff
at
a
gym,
things
got
different.
For
once
Chetan
actually
likes
somebody,
he
posted
a
pic
with
this
débutante
on
Twitter
and
tweeted,
"Do
NOT
workout
next
to
this
guy,
he
will
only
give
you
a
complex!
Tiger
Shroff."
Delayed
Release
Date
Sajid
Walia
had
planned
to
release
Heropanti
on
February
21
but
he
pushed
it
to

to

way
for
Imtiaz
Ali's
Highway
which
was
another
Sajid
Nadiadwala
production.
The
film
is
now
set
to
release
