'I thought the action scenes in Heropanti without cables was hard. But doing stunts attached to wires is another level of action altogether.'

Tiger Shroff has just taken his adulation for Hrithik Roshan to a new level.

For his role of the turbaned superhero in A Flying Jatt, Tiger has been studying Hrithik's airborne elegance closely.

Not Superman. Not Spiderman.

Tiger has been watching the Krrish movies to learn the ropes of playing superhero.

In Remo D'Souza's A Flying Jatt, Tiger Shroff has to play a turbaned superhero. The one-film old action hero has been grappling with the intricacies of airborne stunts.

"I thought the action scenes in Heropanti without cables was hard. But doing stunts attached to wires is another level of action altogether," Tiger says. "Hats off to Hrithik Sir. Cable work is an art in itself. I've been working hard to maintain the correct body language while performing in the superhero suit using cables."

Tiger cannot stop gushing about his idol: "I've realised maintaining a proper body language in midair is not as easy as Mr Roshan makes it look. Posture is extremely important while playing a flying hero."

The title of Tiger Shroff's super-hero film has been changed from A Flying Sikh to A Flying Jatt.

This decision was reportedly taken in the light of the earlier title's association with the iconic sprinter Milkha Singh, who is known as the Flying Sikh.

The film's director Remo D'Souza says, "I want to bring the same level of excellence in A Flying Jatt that we see in Hollywood's superhero films. I am inviting the same special effects guys from Hollywood, who do the Batman and Superman films. Let's see what the results are."
