Would be flattering if I could match up to Hrithik: Tiger Shroff

Actor Tiger Shroff, who is essaying a superhero in "A Flying Jatt", says it was inspiring to watch Hrithik Roshan's "Krrish" act, and the "Heropanti" actor hopes he's able to match up to that level.

"As I am essaying a superhero in 'A Flying Jatt', I hope that I could do justice to the role. Though I don't even think about competing with Hrithik Roashan and what he did in 'Krrish', but I will not let down the makers of 'A Flying Jatt'," Tiger said here.

"It would be flattering if I could match up the level of Hrithik Roshan. Hrithik sir has given such a beautiful film... only watching it inspires me and somehow I hope to get there," he added.

A die-hard fan of Hrithik, Tiger is a wonderful dancer and a fitness freak, much like his idol.

"Hrithik is my role model. I wanted to be a good dancer like Hrithik in my childhood. I used to watch all his films, and 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' blew me away.

"Every night before going to bed, I watched his video, and in my mind I used to visualize that I was dancing in the video. Slowly, I learnt his body language... I've still not got that perfection, but I'm getting there," said the son of veteran actor Jackie Shroff.

On the work front, the actor is currently shooting for his next film -- Sabbir Khan's "Baaghi", in which he's paired with Shraddha Kapoor.

An intense love story, "Baaghi" will hit the big screens on April 29 next year.
