He
may
be
the
newest
action
star
in
Bollywood
but
Tiger
Shroff
says
his
latest
film,
Student
of
the
Year
2
was
a
breather
from
the
death-defying
stunts
routine
of
his
past
films.
The
actor,
who
is
looking
to
recreate
the
success
of
his
last
release,
Baaghi
2
in
the
SOTY
2,
said
playing
Rohan,
a
regular
college
boy
in
the
film,
humanised
him.
"This
is
the
most
different
film
I've
ever
done
till
date.
It's
a
different
world,
it's
a
different
me.
Working
on
this
one
was
like
being
stripped
off
of
my
powers.
So,
if
someone
will
punch
me,
I'll
bleed.
"I
like
the
fact
that
the
film
has
humanised
me.
He's
a
normal
college
going
boy,
he
is
not
a
one-man
army.
He's
not
someone
who
is
fighting
for
the
nation
or
saving
someone.
He
is
sort
of
saving
himself.
It
was
refreshing," Tiger
told
PTI
in
an
interview.
The
29-year-old
actor
described
his
character
as
a
happy-go-lucky
person,
who
cares
a
lot
for
his
friends.
"There
comes
a
time
in
the
film
when
he
decides
to
put
himself
ahead
and
follows
his
dreams...'You
bully
me
or
pick
on
me',
but
that
doesn't
mean
he'll
not
bite
back
eventually,"
he
added.
Tiger
was
at
the
centre
of
social
media
memes
and
trolls
frenzy
the
day
the
film's
trailer
dropped.
The
movie
also
features
debutantes
Ananya
Pandey
and
Tara
Sutaria.
Asked
about
handling
criticism,
the
actor
said,
"I've
been
getting
trolls
and
memes
since
my
first
film
released.
It
means
nothing
to
me.
But
I
guess,
any
sort
of
PR
is
good
PR."
After
SOTY
2,
he
will
return
to
his
action
avatar
as
he
gets
ready
for
the
upcoming
action
film,
Baaghi
3
and
an
untitled
project
with
Hrithik
Roshan.
Directed
by
Siddharth
Anand,
the
movie
also
stars
Vaani
Kapoor.
Tiger
told
PTI
that
the
movie,
which
is
a
Yash
Raj
Films
production,
will
hit
the
theatres
in
October,
whereas
Baaghi
3
is
likely
to
debut
in
February
2020.
Directed
by
Punit
Malhotra,
SOTY
2
is
slated
to
be
released
Friday.
