Tiger Shroff has established himself as one of the most bankable action stars of the country in a very short period of time. Hence, it came as no surprise, when Siddharth Anand cast him as the lead in his desi adaptation of Sylvester Stallone’s Rambo.
However, the reaction to the news on social media was quite polarised. Sylvester himself, on learning the news, took to his Instagram to show an apprehensive response to the remake. “I read recently they are remaking Rambo in India !! .. Great character.. hope they don’t wreck it (sic)” he wrote.
