For some time, it was said Hrithik Roshan would do it. Then, Siddharth Malhotra’s name cropped. But finally, it seems like the man who would play Rambo is going to be Tiger Shroff. For someone who Ram Gopal Varma accused of being effeminate and, indeed, it is a slight that is sometimes associated with him, Tiger seems to be on a radical image modification drive.  
When he started out he had been projected as a romantic hero with exceptional dancing skills. Of the three movies he has made, Heropanti and Baaghi have been hits, and The Flying Jatt, while not a total flop, failed to recover its costs. Tiger has however, done enough by now to be taken seriously on his own merit, instead of being just a star son. Playing Rambo might just propel him ahead further. Meanwhile, there is also Baaghi 2, the sequel, in which, too, he looks very bulked up for what appears to be an action fare.
