The making of a hero

Since day one, Khan was sure that he wanted to tap into Shroff ‘s acting potential. There were several aspects that he became aware of only after getting Shroff on board. “Tiger is a state level gymnast and a fabulous dancer, so that helped the process of locking his final look. After observing his plus points, we infused more dare-devil stunts and action sequences in the script. He did all the stunts in his own way. Everyone on the sets would keep saying that a new style has been created — The Tiger Shroff Style,” mentioned Khan.
Sports fanatic

Shroff has been an active sportsperson since childhood and he confessed that his liking towards a variety of sports including football, gymnastics among others, gave him the perfect agility and flexibility to further strengthen his muscles and perfect the lean look. “Since childhood, I was never interested in anything apart from sports. Even now, I am actively involved in martial arts and never spend a day without my training session. We made the routine a little more aggressive for Heropanti, since my role requires me to do a lot of crazy stunts and unique dance moves,” stated Shroff.
Hair : Director Sabbir Khan wanted Tiger to chop off his locks. The process began with creating the right haircut for him. So, the stylists designed a more boyish, neat crop for the actor.
Going lean: Tiger has a holistic approach towards workouts. To achieve the lean look, he opted for suspended workouts and a lot of cardiovascular training in the form of dancing, running, sprinting, gymnastics and martial arts.

Outfits: The actor will be seen wearing a lot of casual T-shirts, pastel coloured shirts in cotton and chunky accessories on his wrist. He also sports a belt bearing the word H, which stands for Heropanti.

ABS: Tiger has had six pack abs since the past six – eight years. He mentioned that measuring food and calorie intake apart from daily training helped him. He also confessed that abs are more visible on thin people
Toned legs:To make sure that his legs look toned and match his overall lean physique, Tiger underwent strength training and closer to the film’s schedule, he would religiously work out for hours.

Diet Talks

Apart from the set fitness regime, Tiger Shroff followed a low carb diet, called Paleo, which is also referred to as the cave man diet. His daily dose of food included items such as fish, chicken, eggs, green leafy vegetables and all kinds of dry fruits. “I used to eat a lot of figs and almonds. Basically, this was a low carbohydrate diet and I had to follow it rigorously for three months. It’s just once a week that I would alter  the diet a little,” stated Shroff.  He also confessed that despite being a big foodie, he had to let go of chocolates and ice creams. “It’s almost been two years since that I haven’t tasted any form of sweets. But, I feel, all the work has paid off,” quipped Shroff.
