The teaser for Baaghi 4 has sent action lovers into a frenzy — but along with the excitement, an unexpected conversation is brewing online. Many fans are pointing out striking similarities between Tiger Shroff’s high-octane avatar in the upcoming film and Ranbir Kapoor’s intense role in Animal (2023).
The first glimpses of Baaghi 4 show Tiger sporting a rugged look, a mix of raw aggression and controlled chaos, as he takes on heavily armed enemies. The tone is darker than previous installments, with slow-motion action, gritty visuals, and emotionally charged background music — elements that remind viewers of Animal’s signature style.

On X (formerly Twitter), the chatter has been non-stop. One user wrote, “Is this Baaghi 4 or Animal 2? The vibes are uncanny!” Another commented, “Tiger is clearly channeling his inner Ranbir here, but I’m not complaining — looks epic!” Some fans feel the darker, more grounded approach could be a refreshing change for the Baaghi franchise, while others worry it might blur the film’s unique identity.

Industry insiders, however, see this as a smart move. Post-Animal, audiences have shown strong appetite for emotionally heavy action dramas. If Baaghi 4 balances Tiger’s signature stunts with deeper character work, it could pull in a wider audience.
Directed by Ahmed Khan, Baaghi 4 promises to raise the stakes for the franchise, both in scale and emotional intensity. Whether the Animal comparisons help or hurt the film’s reception remains to be seen — but for now, Tiger Shroff has everyone talking.
