Filmmaker A Harsha, who is best known for working with Shiva Rajkumar and the late Puneet Rajkumar, is all set to make his Bollywood debut with the Tiger Shroff-starrer Baaghi 4. The film’s first trailer was unveiled on Saturday, less than a week before its release on September 5. Flagged as ‘inappropriate for some users’ by YouTube, the trailer features plenty of graphic violence. In Baaghi 4, Tiger Shroff plays a lover-slash-avenger, who is on the hunt for the man who killed his partner, played by Harnaaz Sandhu. Flashbacks show Tiger’s character as a Navy officer, but the violent death of his partner seems to send him on a vengeful quest.
The film also stars actors Sonam Bajwa, Shreyas Talpade and Saurabh Sachdeva. Sanjay Dutt appears as the blood-soaked, finger-chopping villain who lives in a castle and has a pet CGI tiger.
Soon after YouTube’s initial warning, a logo pops up to warn viewers that they are about to witness “Restricted Violence.” This is followed by Tiger Shroff’s mass entry with a butcher knife. A voice in the background says: “I have witnessed countless tales of love but never have I seen such an action-packed love story in my life before. A Baaghi (rebel) has failed Romeo, Majnu and Ranjha.”

Soon, someone asks Tiger Shroff’s character: “Have you lost your mind?” He replies: “Not my mind, but heart.” We are then introduced to a twist. Shreyas Talpade’s character says, “Alisha (character played by Harnaaz Sandhu) just exists in his mind.” The trailer suggests that the protagonist is living in a delusion, and that he might have imagined his past trauma. The film, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala is all set to release in theaters on September 5. It will clash with another violent film, The Bengal Files, directed by filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri.
The first Baaghi film was released in 2016. That film, starred actress Shraddha Kapoor opposite Tiger Shroff, and became a massive hit with a collection of Rs 125.90 crore worldwide with a budget of Rs 37 crore. The success of the film was followed by its sequel Baaghi 2 (2018), starring Tiger Shroff and Disha Patani in the lead roles. This film too, despite mixed reviews, earned Rs 257 crore worldwide after being made on a budget of Rs 75 crore.
The makers then announced Baaghi 3, which released in 2020 just a week before India announcing a nationwide lockdown, affecting its box office collection. Yet, the film earned Rs 137 crore and managed to breakeven its budget of Rs 100 crore, motivating the makers to make the fourth installment.
