Baaghi 3 being penned to play up Tiger Shroff’s strengths

Baaghi 3 is among the most anticipated films of 2020. The film’s makers, confident about its content and its hero Tiger Shroff, have even announced a release date while the film hasn’t even gone on floors yet. We spoke to Baaghi 3’s writer Farhad Samji who gave us an insight into what he’s going through while cracking scenes and powerful dialogue for the third film in the action franchise, flagged off by filmmaker Sabbir Khan.
“Baaghi 3 is thrice the pressure and intensity for me. Sajid Nadiadwala (producer) and I have worked together in the past and I also get along well with director Ahmed Khan. Right now, the three of us are working very, very hard to ensure we give the audience a great piece of entertainment. My tuning with them will be evident in what we put together in Baaghi 3, which is very different from the usual stories, screenplays and scripts that I write. It offers a new dimension to my writing. Also, Tiger comes with his own set of strengths and I have to write keeping that in mind. Baaghi 3’s intensity, the revenge-drama and thrill factor will have to be better than before. It’s a new, modern and fresh story although Tiger will continue to be called Ronnie. His action scenes will be like never-seen-before and he will have some great punchlines, too.”
On his part, Tiger told us, “Right now, I have no idea what I will do for Baaghi 3 and what kind of prep I need to get into. I just know that there will be a lot to do in terms of action and drama. And that will require some brushing-up. The second part was a huge hit, the biggest in my career so far. So, I will do as I am told to do by the makers and I will do it to the best of my abilities. We have a high benchmark to meet in terms of audience expectations.”
The actor also promises that the Indian version of Rambo, announced with him in the lead about two years ago, will roll out after Baaghi 3. “It’s not been stalled, it never was. It’s just that it won’t be on the back burner anymore. I’m eager to get into Rambo’s shoes.”
