Known for his smooth dance moves and awe-inspiring action sequences, actor Tiger Shroff, who is prepping for his second film 'Baaghi', says he had to go through extensive training in Kalaripayattu for the actioner.

Kalaripayattu is a martial art form which originated as a style in Kerala.

"I underwent extensive training in Kalaripayattu before we started shoot as the martial art form is an important part of the film. It was a thoroughly enriching experience," Tiger said in statement.

Directed by Sabbir Khan, "Baaghi" also stars actress Shraddha Kapoor.

Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the film's trailer will release on March 14.
