Tiger Shroff is set to return with Baaghi 4, the highly anticipated next installment in the popular Baaghi franchise. After the tremendous success of the earlier films, expectations are sky-high for this action-packed drama. Recently, Tiger took to social media to unveil the film’s first look, which he captioned: “A darker spirit, a bloodier mission. This time he is not the same!” Directed by Nimmal Harsha and written by Rajat Arora, the film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala in collaboration with T-Series and Pen Movies.
The poster, showcasing a rugged and intense Tiger Shroff, immediately sparked a wave of reactions online. Fans and celebrities alike flooded the comments section. Remo D’Souza dropped fire emojis, and singer Armaan Malik expressed his excitement, saying, “Lfg! About time for the redemption.” Another user wrote, “Tiger Shroff will surely bounce back with this film. It’s about time he delivers a massive hit.” Many believe Baaghi 4 could mark a powerful comeback for the actor after a string of mixed performances at the box office.
However, not all feedback was positive. Some users criticized the film for bearing similarities to other works, particularly Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Kabir Singh and Animal. Comments like, “Very Kabir Singh meets Animal vibes,” and “Bas! Ab saare Animal ke copy cat ban gaye,” reflect skepticism among viewers. This comparison arises as both Kabir Singh and Animal are known for their intense portrayals of toxic masculinity. Given that Baaghi 4 appears to be leaning towards a darker narrative, audiences are eager to see whether it brings something new to the table or follows a similar trajectory.
Notably, both Kabir Singh and Animal were directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who faced criticism for glamorizing flawed male protagonists. It remains to be seen if Tiger’s character in Baaghi 4 will echo those themes or carve its own identity.
Despite these concerns, Tiger’s fans are optimistic about the film’s potential. The Baaghi series has always been synonymous with high-octane action and gripping drama, and Baaghi 4 promises to take the franchise to new heights. Slated for a 2025 release, this film could be the redemption arc fans are waiting for, solidifying Tiger Shroff’s position as one of Bollywood’s most bankable action stars.
