Tiger Shroff is officially back on set, and this time the cameras were rolling in Pune. The actor, along with co-star Janhvi Kapoor, has wrapped the Pune schedule of their upcoming film Lag Jaa Gale, weeks after the firing incident on his way home from a football ground in October brought his work to a halt. The update came not from a press release but from a cake, shared on Instagram by the film’s hair and makeup artist Sourav Roy.
The photo showed a chocolate cake with “LJG Pune Wrap” written on it, along with a mention of Dharma Productions. Roy captioned it, “And it’s a wrap,” tagging both actors. Janhvi later reposted the story on her own Instagram, confirming that the schedule had come to a close. For a film that has been shot largely away from the spotlight, it was the clearest sign yet that work is firmly back on track.
A careful return after the October incident
The wrap carries more weight than a routine schedule update. On October 18, two assailants allegedly fired shots at Tiger’s car while he was returning home from a football ground in Mumbai. The incident sent shockwaves through the industry and raised fresh questions about the safety of film stars in the city. Shooting plans were paused while the actor and the makers took stock.
According to a source quoted by Mid-Day, the makers kept the Pune location under wraps, sharing it only with core team members. “Tiger’s safety is paramount for the makers. He wanted to return to work because he didn’t want the film to suffer in any way because of the incident,” the source said. The approach seems to have worked, with the schedule now complete and no further disruption reported.
This newspaper had earlier reported that a 10-day shoot was planned for Tiger’s return in November. The Pune wrap suggests that plan has now been carried out as scheduled.
What we know about Lag Jaa Gale
Lag Jaa Gale is directed by Raj Mehta, who has earlier made Good Newwz, Jugjugg Jeeyo and Selfiee. Along with Tiger and Janhvi, the film also features Lakshya. The project is backed by Dharma Productions, as the wrap cake itself confirmed.
Tiger has already revealed that he plays an anti-hero in the film, a sharp break from the clean-cut action hero image he is known for. Speaking to ETimes, he said people who liked him in War would like him in this project too. “It is anti-hero; there is darkness and unpredictability all in one. That’s something very unlike me. I really pushed myself in terms of being an actor for that film. I hope that comes across,” he said.
For Janhvi, the film follows her Telugu sports drama Peddi, co-starring Ram Charan, which released in theatres on June 4, 2026. For Tiger, it follows Baaghi 4, director A. Harsha’s action thriller co-starring Sanjay Dutt, Sonam Bajwa and Harnaaz Sandhu, which released on September 5, 2025.
What comes next
With the Pune schedule done, the film moves closer to completion, though the makers have not yet announced a release date. Tiger also has an untitled project with director Remo D’Souza in the pipeline, co-starring Elvish Yadav and Abhishek Banerjee.
For now, the wrap photo says enough. After a frightening October, Tiger Shroff is back where he has always been most comfortable: on a film set, finishing what he started.
