Karan Johar announces Screw Dheela with Tiger Shroff, unveils the teaser

Filmmaker Karan Johar on Monday announced his next production venture ‘Screw Dheela’, starring Tiger Shroff in the lead role. Karan also shared a teaser of the film on social media.

The 3 minutes teaser opens with Tiger sitting on a chair with his hands tied and taking blows to his head one after the other. He adjusts his specs and tells the gangster, “Main PT teacher hu India ka, Akhilesh Mishra, aapko koi galatfahmi hui hai sir (I am a PT teacher Akhilesh Mishra, you are taking me wrong).” He is shown a video on a big screen, featuring a girl’s silhouette, who addresses him as ‘Johny.” Soon after, as the gangster is about to shoot Tiger, he kicks him and does a cart wheel to set himself free, despite his hands tied. After several kicks and punches, he is stabbed in the back but continues to fight as if nothing happened.

Sharing the teaser on Twitter, Karan Johar wrote, “excited to present Tiger Shroff in #ScrewDheela, directed by Shashank Khaitan in an all new world of action!!! @apoorvamehta18 #ShashankKhaitan @iTIGERSHROFF @DharmaMovies #MentorDiscipleFilms (sic).”

The film reportedly stars Rashmika Mandanna opposite Tiger and will be shot in India and Europe. It is expected to release next year.

The film will be bankrolled by filmmaker-producer Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions along with Shashank Khaitan’s Mentor Disciple Films.
