Respect for the tribute, but honestly, Tiger bhai needs to focus more on acting workshops than just dance and action. We've seen the same intense expressions in every film. The audience wants a good story and performance, not just stunts.

True that! His movement is always so sharp and precise. Maybe he should do a full-fledged dance film instead of the same old Baaghi formula. The industry needs something fresh from him.
