New Delhi:

Actor Tiger Shroff says his upcoming film "A Flying Jatt" is meant to glorify the Punjabi community and it has nothing against the people of Punjab. The 26-year-old "Baaghi" star says through the film they are only trying to present a "desi superhero" to the public. 

When asked why the protagonist in the film is a Jatt,Tiger replied that "It was Remo (D'Souza) sir's idea to present a desi superhero and we are anyway glorifying the Punjabi community and not showing them in bad light. "We are trying to give India a desi superhero and we should be proud of it" Tiger said in an interview.

Tiger says the film has nothing to do with drugs or other negative things and only focuses on the issue of pollution and environment conservation. "We are not focusing on drugs or anything negative in this film. The only negative in this film is the issue of pollution. Apart from that Remo sir has made it keeping kids in his mind so we really cannot show drugs, sex or anything like that because that is too violent for children. It is a very clean film with a clean message says the actor.

 "A Flying Jatt" will mark Hollywood star Nathan Jones' debut in Bollywood. He has worked in the films like Mad Max, Fearless and Troy. Talking about Jones Tiger says "It was a flurry of emotions. I was petrified and excited. I am his fan so there was a lot to learn from those experiences. Shooting with him was an experience of a lifetime.

Tiger is working in the comedy genre for the first time and he says it was difficult but he finds himself lucky that Remo has given him the opportunity to explore a new side of him.

"It was very hard for me and something very new at the same time. I am experimenting and I'm happy about it.Known for his dancing Tiger says sometimes people want more from him when it comes to dance. "Dancing hurts my body sometimes because often they expect a little more out of me but I still enjoy doing it." "A Flying Jatt", also starring Jacqueline Fernandez, will release on August 25.
