- UMA RAMASUBRAM­ANIAN

Sabbir Khan, who launched Tiger Shroff with Heropanti, and went on to deliver Baaghi with the actor, says that he was offered Baaghi 2 as well. “The sequel was offered to me immediatel­y after Baaghi, but Tiger and I were more excited about Munna Michael, and wanted to jump to it. The makers of Baaghi 2 couldn’t wait for me to finish Munna Michael, and then work on this one. So it’s completely fair. I just couldn’t do it; that’s about it,” Sabbir says.

The director is also all for the fresh pairing of Tiger and Disha Patani in Baaghi 2. “I guess it would be interestin­g for people to see someone they perceive as a real life couple. I’m sure it should be good,” he smiles. “As far as Tiger’s look is concerned, people like him so much that they want to see him in different looks. For the last few films, he’s been sporting a certain look, so his change is acceptable, and he’s looking fab,” Sabbir added.

On being probed about Munna Michael failing to create any magic, Sabbir blames it on GST. “When we released it in July, the whole G happened. It ha impact becaus were still figuri they wanted to watch a movie,” “It’s not that eve going to love y and you need that. Nothing is be successful for nothing’s going failure all your tend to move on.

About critics, h have never react to the critics, but doing their job perceive a movi a certain way, an understand that.
