Tiger Shroff’s fitness levels cannot be denied. The actor has come a long way from his launch vehicle ‘Heropanti’, which released on May 23, seven years ago. The film gave an industry foothold to him and Kriti Sanon, both of whom now have respectively carved their careers in Bollywood. Image Credit: Instagram.com/tigerjackieshroff
