Nikitin Dheer, who is best known for starring in Shah Rukh Khan’s Chennai Express and Salman Khan’s Dabangg 2, recently spoke about which young star has the brightest future in Bollywood.
He also talked about Tiger Shroff, who has delivered a series of flops since the release of War in 2019 opposite Hrithik Roshan, saying the 34 year old actor should not be counted out.
Speaking about the same, Nikitin Dheer said, “I feel Tiger Shroff is going to be a very big star. His ups and downs aside, he has a certain madness towards his work, and that can never fail. He is superb. What Tiger Shroff can do himself, many people cannot do even with cables. He is the king of action, the kind of body he makes others do with CGI. People troll him so much, but he always smiles. He is a human being and must be feeling bad, but I have never seen him say anything untoward to anybody.”
Nikitin Dheer continued, “Tiger is very hard-working. I knew him before he entered films, and was gearing up for his debut. He always had something in him. Time keeps changing, but if you are dedicated, nothing can affect you.”
For those who are unaware, Tiger Shroff is coming off three big budget flops – Heropanti 2, Ganapath, and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan.
The actor then gave the example of Pankaj Tripathi, noting how the actor once didn’t even have dialogues in movies and today is one of the most sought after stars in Bollywood.
He said, “When I was doing Dabangg 2, Pankaj Tripathi was there too. He barely had any lines. He showed me the trailer for Gangs of Wasseypur, and I told him it would take him places, but he didn’t believe me. See where he is. That same man who people didn’t turn around and look at, who didn’t get dialogues, today, people die to just hear him talk. When time changes, it’s beautiful. He is still the same humble man, but his time has changed.”
On the professional front, Nikitin Dheer was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force. He will soon star in the Kannada film Martin. Most recently, Nikitin Dheer portrayed Raavan in Shreemad Ramayan.
