Tiger Shroff is gearing up for the release of his next, War, in which he is pitted against Hrithik Roshan. Sources say that the young actor’s entry scene is a hand-to-hand (HTH) combat scene, and is one of the longest introductory action sequences in Bollywood. Also, what makes it stand out is that the Baaghi hero filmed it in one shot. “Tiger is the best action hero in the country when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. He has entertained audiences with his brilliant skills and we wanted to show people something so raw that it will blow their minds. So, we came up with an idea that will stun audiences with his entry sequence,” says director Siddharth Anand.
The helmer adds that it is a two-and-a-half minute long shot filmed without any cuts. “We flew down the best HTH action choreographer in the world, Sea Young Oh (Age of Ultron and Snowpiercer), to design this sequence. Tiger will be seen on a rampage as he will take down an army of people, with his bare hands. It’s going to be an adrenaline-rushing entry,” he enthuses.

The Student Of The Year 2 actor prepped, practised and rehearsed to ensure that he was ready to do it in one shot. No wonder, the director is all praises when he says, “On the day of the shoot, he was flawless and executed this complex action choreography with precision.”
