Mumbai, May 24
Actor Tiger Shroff has completed 12 years in Bollywood. Marking the occasion, he decided to revisit his first-ever promotion for his debut movie "Heropanti".
In the clip published on social media, the 'Baaghi' actor was seen showing some jaw-dropping moves on the "Pappi" song from the 2014 romantic entertainer.
We could also see him doing a couple of high kicks during the event, flaunting his fitness.
Taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Tiger penned the caption, "Gosh time flies...my first ever promotion...jab chota baccha tha #heropanti (sic)."
Made under the direction of Sabbir Khan and backed by Sajid Nadiadwala under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the drama revolves around two young lovers who fight for their love amidst a violent landscape.
Along with Tiger, the project also marked the debut of actress Kriti Sanon.
A remake of the Bengali film "Shedin Dekha Hoyechilo", "Heropanti" stars Prakash Raj, Sandeepa Dhar, Vikram Singh, Shireesh Sharma, Samar Jai Singh, K. C. Shankar, and Sunil Grover in pivotal roles, along with others.
With camera work handled by Hari K. Vedantam, the editing has being performed by Manan Ajay Sagar.
A sequel to the drama, "Heropanti 2", featuring Tiger, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, and Tara Sutaria, was released in 2022.
On Saturday, Kriti also celebrated 12 years in the entertainment industry with a special social media post.
She took to her handle and re-shared a fan-page collage edit of her various memorable characters over the years.
Sharing the edit, Kriti penned, "Wow! Its been 12 years since I entered this magical world of movies!"
Her other Story had a video clip from her debut film 'Heropanti'. Kriti was seen enjoying gol gappas during a fun scene from the film.
"Haha I'm such a foodie that my first shot on screen in my debut Hindi film was having gol gappas," read the text.

Honestly, Heropanti was a guilty pleasure for me. The action was over the top, the story was a straight-up copy of a Bengali film, but Tiger and Kriti had such fresh energy. And that Pappi song was everywhere - even my mom knew the steps! Nostalgia hitting hard today.
12 years, and Tiger still can't act his way out of a paper bag. But credit where it's due - his action sequences are genuinely impressive. The guy puts in the work. And Kriti Sanon has come a long way from eating gol gappas on screen to being one of the most bankable actresses. Growth is real. 🎬
The nostalgia is real! I was in college when Heropanti released and my friends and I used to joke about how Tiger looked like he was possessed during the high kicks. But honestly, he brought something new to Bollywood action. Also, Kriti eating gol gappas is the most relatable thing ever - she's just like us! 😂
It's amazing how both Tiger and Kriti have managed to sustain themselves in this industry for 12 years. While Tiger stuck to his action hero image, Kriti reinvented herself with films like Mimi and Bareilly Ki Barfi. But I still remember the excitement of seeing a new star kid debut - those were simpler times.
My son was obsessed with Tiger Shroff when Heropanti came out. He used to practice those high kicks in our living room and almost broke our chandelier! 😅 Time does fly
