Actor Tiger Shroff says following years of delay, Rambo is eventually moving forward reimagined and unlike anything audiences expect from his action filmography.
For years, Rambo made its existence in that frustrating space where a project is announced, discussed, remembere and then left hanging.
Eventually putting to rest all the suspense.
He really looks forward to Rambo.
He recalled “It was six years ago, funnily enough referring to when the project was first announced. “And then, for whatever reasons, it sort of didn’t take off.
In the intervening time, his career has emerged synonymous with action often in ways that overlap with what audiences associate with the Rambo brand. Shroff admitted that the character’s iconic energy has already echoed through his filmography. “One Baaghi after another came and that’s pretty much Rambo in its soul,” adding that “a lot of the key scenes from Rambo were used in Baaghi.”
That history is precisely why this return matters. Shroff is not presenting Rambo as a simple revival, but as a rebuild. “Now that it’s finally back into his life, [we’re] revamping it in a very big way and in a very different way.
The actor framed the new Rambo as unfamiliar terrain—not just another extension of what he has already done. “It’s a very different terrain for me. It’s a very different character for him. He is a lot more mature in that,” suggesting the long delay may have given him time to grow into the part.
Fans are also likely to be intrigued by his hint that the reinvention extends to his on-screen look. He is hoping people like his look,” Shroff and “It’s something that he is experimenting with—taking risks—and it’s not exactly what you would expect from a Rambo.”
He also confirmed that an older reference point for his physical brief has been dropped. When reminded of a past comment about being designed to look like a “silverback gorilla,” Shroff laughed it off as an early idea that no longer applies. “That was the initial reference,” Asked if it had changed, he replied simply: “That’s changed now.”
After six years of delays, Shroff is not selling certainty as much as intent. Rambo is happening, he says and it is being rebuilt with enough difference to surprise those who think they know what a Tiger Shroff action film looks like.
