As though news about their collaboration wasn't reason enough for cinephiles to rejoice, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, we hear, are upping the ante for their first cinematic association. The duo is set to take part in a 15-day gymnastics training course for Siddharth Anand's directorial venture, before the film goes on floors in August.
Tiger Shroff
A source close to the production house tells mid-day that the routine being designed for Roshan and Shroff is an "aggressive form of gymnastics, originally a military drill used in warfare". The schedule will kick-off after Roshan returns from Banaras, where he is currently filming Vikas Bahl's Super 30. "They will be guided by Spanish experts. The production house will fly them to Greece to train. A minimum of 15 days will be required to learn the tricks, following which, Hrithik and Tiger will improvise and hone their skills at their convenience."

Apart from a series of beam and vault stunts, rope climbing and obstacle course training will also be included in their routine, the source says. "The actors will need to work on their agility. Given that Tiger is undergoing intensive training since he is shooting for Baaghi 2, it will be easy for him to learn this routine. However, Hrithik, who is playing mathematician Anand Kumar in his next, will need to work on his physique and strength to pull off these stunts."
The revenge drama sees Roshan slip into the role of Shroff's guru. When producers Yash Raj Films had announced the venture last year, the actors were part of an interesting exchange of words on social media to pique curiosity around the project. Shroff had previously expressed gratitude on being given the chance to work with his "idol", Roshan, by stating, "Hrithik sir is hardworking. I won't match up to him unless I put in twice the amount of effort that he does."
