More about Ganapath

Directed by Vikas Bahl, Ganapath - A Hero Is Born is set in 2070 AD. It tells the story of a fighter who embarks on a journey to discover his destiny. During the promotions, the makers described the actioner as a “futuristic action thriller” which sees a fighter’s rise. Speaking to IANS, when Tiger opened up about his role in the film, he said, "It's so different, I have never played so many shades before. I have always been very one track straight forward hero, this is more of an underdog becoming a hero and yes, there is a dark side of him too, and there is a very child-like side of him too as well."

The film marks Tiger's second collaboration with Kriti after Heropati (2014), while the first collaboration of both actors with Amitabh Bachchan.
