As per the latest buzz, Jackie's son Tiger Shroff is now an star in the industry. Jackie, who himself has seen the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, isn’t bothered about Tiger’s journey in Bollywood and believes that the destiny of films, as well as success and failure, isn’t in the hands of an star. In conversation with Mid-day, he shared, “Life is such that these things are not in our hands. You have to work hard. Sometimes you will get results, and other times you won’t."

In further updates, Tiger Shroff made his debut in 2014 with Heropanti, which was directed by Sabbir Khan and also marked the debut of Kriti Sanon.

He also starred opposite Hrithik Roshan in War (2019), which emerged as a major ticket-window hit. Heropanti also turned into a franchise, with its second part releasing in 2022.

On top of that, Tiger, however, has faced back-to-back flops in recent years. His last few films, including Heropanti 2 (2022), Ganapath (2023), Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024) and Baaghi 4 (2025), failed at the ticket-window. The last hit delivered by the star was 2020’s Baaghi 3.
