'Didn't choose SOTY 2 to break action hero image'

Mumbai: Tiger Shroff has emerged as an action hero in the current generation of Bollywood stars, but the actor said he did not choose Student of the Year 2 to break any stereotypes.
Much before Tiger made his acting debut in 2014 with Heropanti, he was often seen doing daredevil stunts off-screen.
After featuring in a string of films such as Baaghi, A Flying Jatt and Munna Michael, the 28-year-old actor has cemented his position as an action star.
However, in SOTY 2, Tiger will move away from his macho image and transform into a naive student. "I am trying something else with Student of the Year 2. That's a complete contrast from Baaghi 2. I am getting bullied and beaten up. Here, it is the opposite," Tiger said in a media interaction here.
The actor said the decision to do the film – even as its rest of the cast is yet to be finalised – was not taken with the intention of breaking away from the action hero stereotype.
"I don't have much action in the film. I didn't choose it to break the stereotype. It was an honour to work with Dharma Productions. It is Karan Johar's baby franchise, his priced possession and he is passing it on to me, so there's an expectation. I take huge pride in taking the legacy forward of SOTY," he added.
