Actor's perspective
'Feeling restless, happy, excited...'
Shroff said, "Feeling restless, happy, excited, blessed, and grateful that the audiences are going to see a very different side of me in my next release Baaghi 4." He added that the past few years have been challenging but also a learning experience. "I think because of it, I've sort of become a better artist."
Career impact
Have put all my learnings into 'Baaghi 4': Shroff
Shroff revealed that he has channeled the lessons learned from his difficult phase into Baaghi 4. "I've put all those learnings into Baaghi 4 and I'm hoping that the audience sees it," he said. He also expressed gratitude to producer Sajid Nadiadwala for giving him this platform and franchise. "The fact that it has reached its fourth installment is a very, very big deal for me."
Film's outcome
On 'BMCM's failure
When asked about the underperformance of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, co-starring Akshay Kumar, Shroff said he thought "it had everything going for it." "Unfortunately, it didn't quite connect with audiences. But I really enjoyed the whole process of shooting the film and I'm forever grateful to (producers) Vashu Bhagnani ji and Jackky Bhagnani ji," he said.
Family support

Shroff also spoke about the unwavering support of his parents, actors Jackie Shroff and Ayesha Shroff. "My parents are my soulmates. I'm really, really grateful and blessed," he said.
