Tiger Shroff is ready to kick-off his film, directed by Siddharth Anand on 5 September. Hrithik is expected to join the team in October 2018. According to reports, the film will be an action-packed entertainer with “death-defying stunts” and Tiger and Hrithik have been busy training for it.
If his Instagram is anything to go by, it looks like filmmaker Siddharth Anand is “dying to shoot” the Hindi remake of Rambo. The filmmaker made his Instagram debut with a photo of Tiger Shroff and Hrithik Roshan with him in the middle and wrote, “Looking ahead. Behind no more! And it begins!! #HrithikvsTiger Dying to shoot, what say?”
Tiger also welcomed Siddharth with the same picture and said, "Welcome to Instagram Siddharth. This one's going to be one to remembered guys. Promise!"
Hrithik and Tiger have joined hands for the Hindi remake of Sylvestor Stallone's Rambo. Tiger Shroff will reportedly play the titular role, while Hrithik’s role is yet to be revealed. The duo had even started a Twitter conversation in 2017 where Tiger addressed Hrithik as his "guru" and Hrithik referred to Tiger as his "student."
Speaking about the role, Tiger had told IANS, "Being a martial artist and a huge action movie buff since childhood, this all seems very surreal, and I'm very grateful for this opportunity. By no means do I believe I can replace the legendary Sylvester Stallone; however, I do feel that somehow this is something I've been preparing for since childhood."
The Hindi remake of Rambo also stars Vaani Kapoor and is bankrolled by Yash Raj Films. The film is slated to release in 2 October 2019.
