Tiger Shroff is set to return as the rebellious protagonist in the highly anticipated fourth installment of the Baaghi franchise. Renowned for its intense action scenes and Shroff’s remarkable martial arts prowess, the series is coming back after a four-year break.
A source close to the production informed Mid-day that Baaghi 4 is in the works and is expected to begin filming either later this year or early next year. However, this schedule depends on the completion of producer Sajid Nadiadwala’s other projects, Sikandar and Housefull 5. Sikandar is already in production, while Housefull 5 is scheduled to start filming next month.
The search for a director to lead Baaghi 4 is currently ongoing. While previous installments were directed by Sabbir Khan and Ahmad Khan, the producers are considering new talent for the upcoming film. Once a director is finalized, the casting process for the female lead will begin. Details about the plot remain under wraps, and the identity of the leading lady has not yet been disclosed.
Meanwhile, Tiger Shroff had stepped up to financially assist focus puller CH Ravi Kumar after it was reported that Pooja Entertainment, the production company, hadn’t settled payments for its cast and crew. Kumar, who contributed to the Mudassar Aziz-directed Mere Husband Ki Biwi produced by Vashu Bhagnani and son Jackky, had sustained injuries a few months back and was facing difficulties to cover his expenses. Notably, Tiger was part of the movie Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, which was also produced by Pooja Entertainment.
After news reports brought attention to Pooja Entertainment’s failure to compensate its film crew, including Kumar, the focus puller shared with the website about recent events. Expressing gratitude, he mentioned, “It was very kind of Tiger to step forward when he read about my plight. The production has still not paid me but Tiger stepped in. His mother and father called me yesterday and I spoke to them. Many years ago even Jackie sir (actor Jackie Shroff) had helped my brother, who was injured while working on a film. I’m touched by Tiger’s gesture and this is a huge respite for me..” While Ravi Kumar didn’t disclose the precise amount received from Tiger, he acknowledged that it was a substantial sum in the “lakhs.”
