Mumbai: The much-awaited official teaser for Tiger Shroff's 'Baaghi 4' has been unveiled. Days after teasing fans with a bloodied poster, the actor confirmed the release date on Saturday, only to add to the growing buzz. The teaser opens on a sombre note with Tiger's voiceover in the background. As the character recalls the tragic loss of a loved one, the teaser continues with violent visuals, actions, and a lot of drama. Tiger Shroff makes a fierce entry as Ronny, this time taking over as both the "hero and the villain" of his story. He appears fuelled by vengeance, armed, and driven by a rage that leaves no enemy breathing. "Har Aashiq Ek Villain Hain... No escape. No mercy. Brace yourself -- a Bloody, Violent Love Story begins. #Baaghi4Teaser Out Now," Tiger wrote in the caption. Actor Sanjay Dutt is seen as a menacing killer antagonist, setting the stage for the "bloody and violent" story. "This is Dutt like you've never seen him before completely unleashed," the makers said about his role. The teaser also includes glimpses of the lead actresses, Sonam Bajwa and debutant Harnaaz Sandhu, who also ace the action scenes. Earlier this March, the makers released an intense new poster of the film on Tiger's 35th birthday. He was seen in a fierce and darker look, exuding a powerful aura. In the poster, Tiger's face was partially visible with blood dripping from his forehead while he held a cigarette between his lips. "This time he is not the same," read the tagline in the poster. Sharing the same on his Instagram handle, Tiger expressed gratitude towards the franchise that helped him become an "action hero." "The franchise that gave me an identity and allowed me to express my eagerness to prove myself as an action now the franchise that is changing my identity. He's definitely not the same this time, but I hope you guys accept him the way you did 8 years ago," the actor wrote in the post. Tiger completed the shooting of 'Baaghi 4' in July this year and shared the update with his fans. With pictures of himself from the sets, he wrote, "And finally it comes to an end ... thank you for all your love and allowing this franchise to reach so far. Don't think I've ever bled as much for any film. This one's for you. #4 coming soon." A fourth instalment in the beloved 'Baaghi' franchise, the film is directed by A. Harsha and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. 'Baaghi 4' will be released on September 5, 2025.

Manushi Chhillar on stereotypes of coming from pageant world: Instead of focusing on breaking notions, I just do my job
Actor and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar is a handful of films old in Hindi film industry and she has dabbled with both glamerous and non glamerous roles so far. Did she have to fight any stereotypes during her transition into films? Manushi Chhillar made her acting debut in 2022. "If someone else has a preconceived notion about where they can fit you, I think instead of focusing your energy on breaking that notion, you just keep doing your job in best possible manner and chase the kind of work that you want to do and everything will fall into place," says the actor, who has was recently seen in the film Maalik, alongside Rajkummar Rao. Manushi adds, "Whatever people have to say it's their opinion but For me personally when I transitioned into films I didn't feel like I had to do something very different or I had to be a certain way. I dress according to my job. I was a girl doing her job as Ms World and I am a girl doing my job as an actor now." Also Read | Tehran Cast Guide: From John Abraham to Manushi Chhillar, who plays what in geopolitical action-thriller With her transition into films, she joins the league of several actors like Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and others who were former beauty pageant winners and later entered films. However, Manushi doesn't agree with beauty pageants images of being only about glamour and looking pretty. Breaking the myth, she says, "The first thing is that when people say that world of beauty pageant is of glamour, I do not agree with that. It's that one night in 365 days when a girl is crowned, which you see on stage." The actor, who won the 2017 Miss World pageant, says, "The whole year what you are doing is not a very glamorous job. I was working with a charity called Beauty With A Purpose and we were constantly traveling to the remotest areas of different parts of the world and that's not a very glamorous job. So technically what I had to do as a Miss World was not just wear a crown, dress up and get photographed. Probably the media covers that one night, which gets most spoken about."
