Baaghi 2: Tiger performs a 120 feet leap without help of a body double!

Everyone knows what an action fanatic Tiger Shroff is. He drains himself while training, just so he looks his best and remains his fittest best while performing. But it’s not just that. Tiger is a firm believer in authenticity and doesn’t stop until the scene comes out just fine.

And hence, when we heard he performed a 120 feet leap by himself, we weren’t shocked!

His introduction scene in ‘Baaghi 2’ demanded him to jump off a cliff, while managing a 120 feet fall wherein he would navigate through the trees. There were not only risks of grave injury, but he could end up scarring his face badly. (Also Read: Baaghi 2 promotions: While Tiger keeps it casual; Disha adds a little bling to her summery outfit)

However, he decided to pull it off.

“The jump was well-timed, so I was quite confident. But the only thing I had to be careful about [during the fall] were the branches of the trees – they were sticking out and would cut into my face during the fall,” the actor said.

But why was a stuntman not used?

“When the body double performed the stunt, I was dissatisfied with it. On seeing that, Tiger offered to do the stunt himself. When we were filming, there were 10 things going on in my mind – how he should protect his face, how the branches could injure his eyes. Tiger, on the other hand, was so calm. After the scene, he had badly bruised his back, thighs and elbows,” director Ahmed Khan answered.

So much of commitment!
