Tiger underwent Kalaripayattu training for Baaghi

Known for his smooth dance moves and awe-inspiring action sequences, actor Tiger Shroff, who is prepping for his second film Baaghi, says he had to go through extensive training in Kalaripayattu for the actioner.

Kalaripayattu is a martial art form which originated as a style in Kerala. “I underwent extensive training in Kalaripayattu before we started shoot as the martial art form is an important part of the film. It was a thoroughly enriching experience,” Tiger said in statement.

Directed by Sabbir Khan, Baaghi also stars actor Shraddha Kapoor. The film also features Paras Arora and marks the Bollywood debut of Telugu actor Sudheer Babu, who essays a negative role.
