On Friday, Tiger, who plays the titular role in Ganapath: A Hero is Born, took to Instagram to share a video of himself heading off for some fun adventure with roller skates on the main road, with the film’s track Koi Pooche Toh Batana in the background.

In the reel, he could be first seen holding the back of a car as if pretending that he can’t skate on his own before letting go and roller-skating on the main road.

Captioning his post, he simply wrote: “Koi pooche toh batana…ki hum (kaam k liye time pe) aye hai ….20th october on our way. #ganapath” Tiger is taking the reins in director Vikas Bahl’s ambitious new project. Going full Blade Runner style, Ganpath depicts a very bleak and dystopian future where gunships hover across the sky amidst a landscape surrounded by broken buildings.

An oppressed population which lives under a hegemonic totalitarian regime, Tiger essays the role of Ganapath, a prophesied chosen one who will break the chains of tyranny and liberate the masses.

With the use of some very high quality VFX, CGI and grand production, the movie is one of Tiger’s most ambitious projects yet where he is entering uncharted territory. Nonetheless, the movie also has quite a bit of Bollywood masala making it something that is both familiar, and yet somehow new.

Directed by Vikas Bahl, the film is produced by Vashu Bhagnani, Jackky Bhagnani, Deepshikha Deshmukh and Vikas Bahl, and stars Tiger Shroff, Kriti Sanon, and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles. Ganapath is set for a worldwide theatrical release in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada on October 20.
