"Yeah. Welcome news for Bollywood," read a comment on a post talking about Tiger's football move. Another said, "Anything that keeps him busy and away from movies." Some hilariously mentioned that Tiger is rarely seen wearing his jersey in football videos and that getting him to put it on will be a task for any team that gets him onboard.

On the movies front, Tiger was last seen Baaghi 4, which released in September 2025. His next confirmed release is opposite Lakshya and Janhvi Kapoor, in a romantic drama titled Lag Jaa Gale. Raj Mehta of Good Newwz and Jugjugg Jeeyo fame is directing it.
