Tiger Shroff’s struggling career takes another Hit as Hero No. 1 shelved; his high fees & large entourage to be blamed

Tiger Shroff had a rocking debut in 2014 with Heropanti and soon became a darling of the masses. Sadly, things are not going smoothly for the actor of late. His last three films Heropanti 2, Ganapath and Bade Miyan Chote Miyan flopped big time and also suffered trolling due to its poor content. Ganapath also got into trouble after its VFX shots were left incomplete, prompting Netflix to back off from the deal. And Bollywood Hungama has now learned that Hero No 1, Tiger Shroff’s film with Mission Mangal (2019) director Jagan Shakti, has been indefinitely put on hold. A source told Bollywood Hungama, “The film is produced by Vashu Bhagnani and its shooting is 20% complete. The remaining portions were to be shot after the release of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan in April. But BMCM was a major loss maker for Bhagnani’s Pooja Entertainment. They are in a huge debt and are not in a position to put money to shoot Hero No 1. Hence, it’s as good as being shelved.” Jagan Shakti has already moved on t

REVEALED: This is what Rajkummar Rao's deleted cross-dressing scene in Stree 2 was all about

Stree 2 was released almost two weeks back and yet, the excitement around the film refuses to die down. Yesterday, its lead actor Rajkummar Rao posted a picture from the sets of the film.

The actor, in the caption, mentioned that it was one of his favourite scenes from the film but sadly, it didn’t make it to the final cut. However, he didn’t give any information about what the scene was all about. Bollywood Hungama has found out exciting details about this scene.
