Tiger Shroff and Shraddha Kapoor to be paired in two films

Tiger Shroff will be seen in two films opposite Shraddha Kapoor. The first will be Sajid Nadiadwala's next production directed by Sabbir Khan, the second is Ekta Kapoor's production directed by Sabbir Khan.

The actor, who just returned from a week's holiday in Bangkok, recently signed Ekta's film. Reveals a source close to the actor, "Ekta's film wouldn't have been possible, were it not for Sajid. Tiger is under a three-film contract with Sajid and she wouldn't be able to start without Sajid's go-ahead. Both producers share a warm relationship. So, Ekta met Sajid and asked him if he would give Tiger permission to act in her next. Sajid's film rolls in October this year and ends in March. Ekta's film begins after that."

Adds the source, "Sajid has been mentoring the young actor as far as his career is concerned. When Ekta first met Tiger he had asked for a huge amount of money and a bound script before he would say yes. Sajid told him to forget all that and just sign the contract. Tiger did just that."
