Tiger Shroff calls his debut short film the 'need of the hour'

Tiger Shroff champions environmental awareness in powerful short film directed by brother Rahul Shetty, screened at international festival

"Let's not be known as the generation that only witnessed the change, but the generation that became the change - Remo D'Souza"

Mumbai, June 5

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is immensely proud of the message of his first short film, and has called it the need of the hour.

Choreographer-turned-filmmaker Rahul Shetty released his short film ‘Jahaan – The Last Gift’. Stepping on the occasion of the World Environment Day. Rahul is known for his work in films like ‘ABCD 2’, ‘Street Dancer 3D’, and ‘Baaghi 2’.

The film chronicles the delicate relationship between humans and the environment. Shetty crafts a narrative that is both deeply personal and universally resonant, reminding audiences that the environment is not separate from us, it is us.

Talking about the film, Tiger Shroff remarked, “It is my first short film and my brother’s first short film as director. I was drawn to the message right away. It’s the need of the hour, we are talking about the environment, Mother Nature, and global warming. I want this short film to go to as many places as possible because the message is critical and so wonderfully told. I am proud it was selected at the Waves Festival and even prouder to be a part of it”.

The film features Tiger in one of his most sincere performances, and was amongst the Top 10 Films at the prestigious International Waves Bazaar.

Director Rahul Shetty said, “Dance taught me that everything in nature has rhythm. There are rhythms in nature, but today the rhythms are disappearing”.

Wearing the hats of both director and producer, Shetty champions a message that is clear and urgent: Reuse. Replant. Respect.

Producer Remo D’Souza shared, “Let’s not be known as the generation that only witnessed the change, but the generation that became the change”.

So proud of Tiger for using his star power for environmental awareness! 🌱 We need more celebs to take up meaningful causes like this. The message about nature's rhythm disappearing is so true - our monsoons have become so unpredictable these days.

While I appreciate the intention, I wish Bollywood would show the same enthusiasm in their big-budget films. How many crores are wasted on song sequences shot in foreign locations when we have beautiful nature here? Hope this isn't just tokenism.

"Reuse. Replant. Respect." - such simple yet powerful words! ♻️ As someone from Uttarakhand who has seen deforestation firsthand, this film's message hits home. Hope schools show this to children - we need to teach the next generation better than we were taught.

Interesting that a dance choreographer is making films about nature! But it makes sense - our classical dances like Bharatnatyam have always celebrated nature through mudras. Hope this short film gets proper distribution beyond film festivals.

The timing with World Environment Day is perfect! 🌍 But I wonder - will the film address how urban India's consumerism is affecting rural ecosystems? Our villages bear the brunt of climate change while cities enjoy AC comforts. Hope it shows this imbalance.

Good initiative, but let's be real - one short film won't change much. We need policy changes and corporate accountability. That said, if this makes even 1% of Tiger's young fans think about sustainability, it's worth it. Baby steps matter!
