Pressure to perform on star kids is immense, said Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.

"People notice us very quickly because of our parents and because we are star kids. The pressure is, in fact, double on us to live up to their image," Tiger told reporters here.

"Whatever I am today is because of commercial cinema. My goal is to entertain not just a small group of people and I am grateful that I have been accepted by the masses very gracefully," the 'Heropanti' actor told reporters.

Tiger, known for his cool dance moves and power-packed sequences, was asked whether his action scenes can stereotype his image in the Bollywood industry.
