Tiger Shroff is on a roll as after his superhit film in 2019, War opposite Hrithik Roshan, the actor is all set to light the screens on fire with his hit action franchise Baaghi 3. 

It was previously reported that Tiger would be featuring in Heropanti 2 which Sajid Nadiadwala wants to turn into a franchise.

Quoting a source, a Pinkvilla report had stated, "After Baaghi 3, Tiger was supposed to begin work on the Rambo remake, to be directed by Siddharth Anand. But that has been pushed ahead one more time, as Tiger has decided to do another film under Sajid Nadiadwala’s banner. NGE had been planning to make Heropanti a franchise for the last one year and they have finally found the perfect script that seamlessly fits into the mold of the actioner. Heropanti 2 will also have Tiger playing the lead role, reprising his character from the original which also happened to be his Bollywood debut." 

The 2014 film was directed by Sabbir Khan and featured Kriti Sanon opposite Tiger.

Today Tiger confirmed the news on his Instagram and also released the date of the film's release. He wrote, "This one is so special to me. Blessed and grateful to be carrying forward another franchise with my mentor Sajid sir. #Heropanti2 #firstbaby #SajidNadiadwala @khan_ahmedasas @wardakhannadiadwala @nadiadwalagrandson @rajeev_chudasama."

The film would be helmed by Ahmed Khan, "The production house (Sajid Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment) has a long-standing relationship with Ahmed and are extremely confident of the Tiger-Ahmed pairing. Together, they delivered a 175 crore plus Baaghi 2 and now, with Baaghi 3, they have taken the film a few notches higher. Trade pundits feel Baaghi 3 will have record-breaking business as well, so Sajid felt it’s the right time to get both his in-house talents to come together for Heropanti 2. The film goes on floors around May 2020," the report said.
