Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff, known as the action hero of the new generation, says stuntmen and fight masters should get more respect and recognition as they risk their lives every day on film sets.

The actor was here on Friday to share a special video of action sequences from his upcoming film BAAGHI 2 with the media.

Mentioning the crucial role that every stuntman plays on the set of any action film, Tiger said: "I feel there should be more safety and respect paid to the stuntmen who are working with us constantly.

"Every day they are risking their lives. They are literally stepping out of their house, saying 'goodbye' to their family without knowing if they will go back home alive. Considering that, they get very less recognition."

"If our 'Baaghi 2' does well and 'Baaghi 3' gets a good business and I can establish myself, I would like to do something for the recognition of all our stuntmen who work with us. I want to have some special awards or something that could give them recognition," he added.

Actress Disha Patani and director Ahmed Khan were also present.

About how the shooting of action films has improved with much better and well-equipped safety measure, Ahmed said: "Earlier there was no VFX so actors used to jump directly and they used to fall on the boxes. The risk was huge. They could break their legs.

"Today, it is much improved … stuntmen, fight masters who come from abroad for our films are highly professionals. So I would say there is 25 per cent safety from their end, 25 per cent safety that comes from the actor who prepares himself for extensive training. That is how we secure 50 per cent of the safety while shooting any action films now."

BAAGHI 2 releases on March 30.

Actress Kate Hudson says her son and singer Sia shaved her hair to prepare her for role in SISTER.

Hudson, 38, had to clean shave her head for the upcoming musical, which is directed by Sia. But she wasn't prepared for how it would feel to rock the bold look after filming had finished, reports mirror.co.uk.

"I shaved the whole thing. I did a film with Sia, a musical, and we shaved it off. My little one and Sia took clippers to it. It's funny because when you're doing it for a role you don't really think about it because you're just ready for it, you're like 'let's do this' but when it was done, it was like, 'Oh, my head's shaved… Oh my God'," said Hudson.

After the initial shock, the actress learnt to embrace her new hairstyle and admitted she "missed" it because her boyfriend Danny Fujikawa used to rub her shaved head until she fell asleep.

The daughter of veteran actress Goldie Hawn also urged women to take the plunge and try the hairstyle for themselves because it feels liberating.

"I honestly think a women in her life at one point just needs to chop it all off, it's so liberating. People look at you differently," she said.
