<p>Actor Tiger Shroff's latest movie <em>Heropanti 2</em>, slated to hit the screens on Friday (April 29), has created a fair deal of buzz among fans courtesy of its 'massy' trailer and effective punch dialogues. The fact that it is a follow-up to the 2014 release <em>Heropanti</em>, which emerged as a commercial success despite releasing alongside the Rajinikanth-led <em>Kochadaiiyaan</em>, has further piqued the curiosity of fans. So, will these factors help the actioner set the Indian box office on fire? Let's find out<br /><br /><strong>Good start on the cards</strong><br /><br /><em>Heropanti 2</em> is likely to collect between Rs 7 crore and Rs 10 crore on the opening day as per initial tends. While the final figure will depend on the spot booking and the word-of-mouth, this is set to be one of Bollywood's better openers under the 'new normal'. It will outperform <em>Antim </em>(Rs 4.5 crore), <em>Satyameva Jayate 2</em> (Rs 3.6 crore) and <em>Attack </em>(Rs 3.51 crore). It might even outperform <em>Gangubai Kathiawadi </em>(Rs 10.5 crore) if it holds well towards the evening.<br /><br /><strong>Deep dive</strong><br /><br /><em>Heropanti 2 </em>is, either way, unlikely to match the performance of Tiger's previous release <em>Baaghi 3</em>, which raked in nearly Rs 19 crore when it hit the screens in 2020. This, however, is not too surprising as the film will face competition from Ajay Devgn's<em> Runway 34</em> in metros. It is unlikely to have a free run in mass markets either as<em> KGF Chapter 2</em>, which premiered in theatres on April 14, is still doing well at the box office.<br /><br /><strong>What's it about?</strong><br /><br /><em>Heropanti 2</em>, directed by Ahmed Khan, is a actioner that revolves around what happens when the protagonist locks horns with a menacing rival to save his people. The movie stars Tara Sutaria, who previously acted alongside Tiger in <em>Student of the Year 2</em>, as the leading lady. Her glamorous avatar is likely to be an asset for the movie. <em>Heropanti 2</em> features Nawazuddin Siddiqui as the antagonist 'Laila', a character with a maniacal laugh.<br /><br /><strong>What's next for Tiger?</strong><br /><br />With the film gearing up for its big release, Tiger is set to turn his attention to <em>Ganpath</em>. He also has <em>Bade Miyan Chote Miyan</em>, co-starring Akshay Kumar, in his kitty. The film will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, best known for blockbusters such as <em>Sultan </em>and<em> Tiger Zinda Hai</em>. </p>
