Tiger Shroff is reportedly heading for a major career detour, with the Bollywood star set to make his competitive football debut in the 135th Durand Cup. According to the report, he has been included in Mumbay FC's squad after spending time training with the club.
The actor has regularly shown his football ability in social media reels, where his control, movement and enthusiasm for the game have drawn attention from fans. What had largely been seen as a personal passion now appears to be moving into a much more serious setting.
If he features in the tournament, Tiger Shroff's Durand Cup appearance would mark a rare crossover from mainstream Hindi cinema to competitive football. The development has also sparked interest because he is already a well-known public figure, making his sporting step an unusual talking point beyond film circles.
For now, the focus is on whether the actor will get minutes on the field for Mumbay FC during the competition. Even before a possible debut, his inclusion in the squad has already made Tiger Shroff one of the most discussed names around this year's Durand Cup.
