Tiger Shroff's Rambo Remake Pushed to 2020; Is Baaghi 2 to be Blamed?
It looks like Baaghi 2's climax was a 'warmup' for young Tiger to prepare himself for the Rambo remake.
Tiger Shroff is on a roll! The actor with perhaps the most flexible body in the industry right now has scored a blockbuster hit with Baaghi 2. The movie is all set to enter the Rs 100 crore club in a matter of just a few days, making it Tiger's first movie to get that milestone. Directed by Ahmed Khan, Baaghi 2 may have not have won over the critics, but the masses are quite happy with Tiger Shroff breaking more bones than usual.
Interestingly the movie has shown some major shade on Tiger's own upcoming movie, the much talked about Rambo remake. The project was announced in Cannes with Bang Bang director Siddharth Anand helming the project. After showing surprise over the project, original star Sylvester Stallone had also given blessings to the movie. But after the poster reveal at Cannes, there has been no update on the movie.
Rambo remake was supposed to come out next year, but as per the latest update, it is now pushed to 2020. People were worried about the movie, since the last 20 minutes of Baaghi 2 was basically like a Rambo movie - Tiger turning a one-man army to infiltrate into the jungle fortress of the villain and kill each one of his henchmen. So is this why Rambo remake has bee pushed ahead?
No, as per director Siddharth Anand. Apparently, it has to do with his other big project, the yet untitled YRF movie with Hrithik Roshan, Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor. Speaking to PTI, Anand said, " While Tiger and I were working on these things, another film with YRF came into the picture. For the first lead, we felt Hrithik Roshan was an apt choice. For the second lead I bounced the idea to Tiger. I told him that if we do this film now, we will have to push Rambo. And we both agreed that we give a little bit of more time to prepare (for Rambo). As soon as the shoot of the YRF film is over, the work will begin on Rambo."
At least, the movie is still on! It looks like Baaghi 2's climax was a 'warmup' for young Tiger to prepare himself for the Rambo remake.
Meanwhile he will be seen next in Student of the Year 2.
