Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 2 has made a record opening at the box-office for 2018 by amassing a total of over Rs 45 crore in 2 days. But what’s probably more exciting for the young Tiger is the heartfelt appreciation he’s getting from some of his seniors in the film industry.
Akshay Kumar and Hrithik Roshan - two of Bollywood’s most popular action stars have gone all out to praise Tiger’s high octane, bone breaking stunts in Baaghi 2. Akshay complimented Tiger Shroff by calling him India’s Tony Jaa - the popular Thai action star.
