Tiger Shroff reveals how Katrina Kaif’s ‘Boom’s failure affected his family financially

Many of you might not be aware of the fact that Katrina Kaif’s debut movie ‘Boom’ was produced by Tiger Shroff’s mom Ayesha Shroff. As reported in Mid-Day, in an interview with GQ magazine, Tiger spoke about how the failure of ‘Boom’ affected his family financially.

‘Boom’ released in 2003 but it was leaked before the release date and tanked at the box office. Tiger was 11-year-old but he knew everything that his family went through. He said that their furniture was sold off, one by one. “Things I’d grown up seeing around us started disappearing. Then my bed went. I started to sleep on the floor. It was the worst feeling of my life,” said Tiger.

Talking about his roles in movies, the ‘Baaghi’ actor said, “You think of Shah Rukh sir (and) think ‘Romance King’. You (look at) Salman Khan, (and) think ‘Bhaijaan’. Each one of these guys has a label. That’s important in an industry that has so much competition. Every time I do something offbeat, (the audience has) not been as kind, to me. ‘A Flying Jatt’ or ‘Student Of The Year 2’. In ‘A Flying Jatt’, I was a bumbling superhero, afraid of heights, fights and of using powers. In ‘SOTY 2’, I was a college guy getting bullied. It didn’t go down well with my audience. I don’t think they could digest me coming from ‘Baaghi 2’ to being beaten up by college students.”

Though Tiger made his debut with ‘Heropanti’ in 2014, he rose to fame with the ‘Baaghi’ franchise. Next, he will be seen in the high-octane action drama ‘War’ that also has Hrithik Roshan.
