"Thanks for making my dad an overnight superstar uncle @subhashghail the ultimate showman - Tiger Shroff"

Mumbai, May 30

Bollywood action hero Tiger Shroff has thanked his uncle, Subhash Ghai, whom he calls the 'ultimate showman', for making his father, veteran actor Jackie Shroff, an “overnight superstar."

Subhash has shared a poster of the 1983 romantic action film “Hero” starring Jackie and Meenakshi Seshadri as the film clocked 42 years in Hindi cinema.

Ghai wrote: "You need to have a courage to produce a FILM with NEW HERO on big scale with creative freedom to make a block buster like HERO which ran for 75 weeks n its music is still haunting. After 43 years. (sic)."

"Thanks to my team my actors n distributors n financier who supported me to establish MUKTA ARTS in 1982. Post HERO mukta arts groomed many stars who are legends today n produced 42 films under mukta...Feel blessed (sic)."

Tiger took to Instagram stories, where he re-shared the poster and thanked the filmmaker for making his dad an overnight sensation.

“Thanks for making my dad an overnight superstar uncle @subhashghail the ultimate showman,” Tiger wrote as the caption.

Talking about Tiger’s work, the 35-year-old actor is currently busy with “Baaghi 4,” which is helmed by director A. Harsha. The film promises to take action to a whole new level.

“Baaghi 4” was officially unveiled by Tiger Shroff in November 2024, when he shared a gripping first-look poster across his social media handles. The poster shows the actor in a raw, intense avatar, sitting on a toilet seat with a knife in one hand and a bottle in the other, surrounded by blood-soaked walls and unconscious bodies sprawled across the floor.

The upcoming actioner, which also stars Sonam Bajwa and Harnaaz Sandhu, is all set to release in theatres on September 5, 2025.

Meanwhile, Jackie is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film “Housefull 5,” which is slated to release on June 6, 2025.

Hero was truly iconic! Jackie Shroff's raw charm and Subhash Ghai's vision created magic. Today's generation may not understand how revolutionary that film was in the 80s. Tiger is carrying forward his father's legacy with his own style. Baaghi 4 looks promising! 🔥

Such a sweet gesture by Tiger! It's heartwarming to see Bollywood families supporting each other across generations. Though I wish Tiger would experiment more with roles beyond action - he has potential to be versatile like his dad was in films like Parinda.

The music of Hero still gives me goosebumps! Laxmikant-Pyarelal's compositions were legendary. Today's remixes can't match that golden era. Excited for Housefull 5 though - Jackie Shroff's comic timing is underrated!

While I appreciate Tiger's respect for veterans, Baaghi series is getting repetitive. The industry needs fresh scripts instead of endless sequels. That said, the father-son bonding here is adorable! ❤️

Subhash Ghai truly was the showman of his time. Remember watching Hero in single-screen theaters - the whistles when Jackie entered were deafening! Today's stars don't get that organic stardom. Tiger is trying hard though, gotta give him that.

The toilet seat poster of Baaghi 4 looks... interesting? 😅 But seriously, Jackie Shroff's journey from Hero to Housefull shows his versatility. Hope Tiger gets to show more range too beyond just action. Both legends in their own way!
