Tiger Shroff's movie Rambo to go on floors in November 2019!

Last year in Cannes, the pronouncement of Tiger Shroff starring in the iconic action movie Rambo, originally starring Sylvester Stallone, was made. The movie was going to go on floors this month but now has been pushed to next year instead.

As per the director, Siddharth Anand will be concentrating on his other film which stars Hrithik Roshan, Tiger and Vaani Kapoor. The untitled film is going on floors in August 2018. On the other side, Tiger is presently shooting for Baaghi 2 and will then shift his focus to Student of the Year 2.

As per a daily, Rambo will go on floors in November 2019 and will be shot in Europe and the Himalayas.

Siddharth disclosed to the daily, "We will start by November 2019. The film will be shot completely in Europe and the Himalayas as the story requires a snowy backdrop."

"The script for Rambo is ready and the preliminary recce is done. Now I just have to re-recruit my team based on the new dates of the shoot," the filmmaker further added. 

Meeting Stallone will be dream come true, says Tiger Shroff!

Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone has already expressed confidence that Tiger Shroff will put his heart and soul into the Indian "Rambo" remake. The Bollywood star tells it will be a "dream come true" moment if he gets to meet his idol during the process of making the 'desi' version of the film.

Asked if he will be meeting Stallone while prepping up for the movie, Tiger said, "That will be a dream come true if I get to meet him sometime during the process of 'Rambo'."

Stallone starred in the actioner. The remake will be directed by Siddharth Anand and co-produced by M! Capital Ventures, Original Entertainment, Impact Films and Siddharth Anand Pictures.

The "Rambo" franchise first came to life in 1982 with "First Blood", which minted over $125 million worldwide. It was followed by a number of successful remakes, including the most recent "Rambo" in 2008, which earned $113 million globally.

The Indian remake will be given a 'desi' twist.

It will follow the life of the last surviving member of an elite covert unit of the Indian armed forces who returns home to discover a war waging in his own land and how he unleashes mayhem by becoming an unstoppable machine after tough training.

Speaking about when will he start with the remake, Tiger, who joined hands with a flagship corporate social responsibility programme P&G Shiksha for a "Shiksha Superheroes" campaign earlier this month, told, "First, I have 'Baaghi 2' and 'Student of the Year 2' to finish and then will go into 'Rambo'."

Principal photography for the movie is scheduled to start in February next year, with a release targeted for late 2018.

After Rambo, Tiger Shroff’s goal is Spiderman now!

Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff is all geared up to step into the shoes of the iconic action genre actor Sylvester Stallon in the Rambo Remake. The movie is being helmed by Siddharth Anand and will release next year.

Tiger who is overjoyed to essay Rambo said a tabloid, "I was over the moon when the offer came along.I've grown up watching Sylvester Stallone films. The word `action' conjures up images of guys like him and Bruce Lee in my mind. I'm not stepping into his shoes; I'm paying him a tribute with the Rambo remake. I feel like I am up for the challenge. Subconsciously, I've been preparing for it all my life. He put out a lovely tweet to wish us. It felt like a dream come true."

But it's not just the physical aspect of the character that is the primary focus of the film. Tiger explained, "It's the mental turmoil of the character that will be the real challenge. I haven't started prep yet since I have to complete the work on Baaghi 2 and Student of the Year 2 before Rambo rolls. It will be one of the most physically and mentally draining films I've ever done. Other than his physicality, the fact that the character has gone through so much at a young age, bringing those experiences to life will be a challenge."

"You really feel for the character and root for his fight. He's the underdog, a bit of an outcast who tries to fit in and transforms into a killing machine but you still feel for him," he added stating that the first Rambo movie is his favourite and probably the closest to the movie they are making.  

Tiger also loved the Rocky series and told, "I love watching it even today. I watch videos of the songs Eye of the Tiger (from Rocky 3) and Hearts on Fire (Rocky 4) every time I go to train in the gym or before stage performances. Mr. Stallone really has given the audience so much."

Ask Tiger if the Rambo remake is the first step for Tiger to endeavor into Hollywood and actor discloses, "My ultimate goal is to be Spiderman so Rambo is a good platform to get whatever talent I have to a bigger platform. The Rambo remake film is definitely one of my biggest platforms but Spiderman is the goal."

Hrithik Roshan reprises the Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo role!
