Filmmaker Sajid Khan is happy with the performance of debutante actor Tiger Shroff in the yet-to be-released film 'Heropanti'.

"I am very happy with how the movie is shaping up. I am fulfilling the responsibility given to me 15 years ago by Jackie to train his son. It certainly is a different space, but training it is," Sajid said. Shooting of the film is still underway.

Sajid first met Tiger 15 years ago when the latter was just five, at the football field and Jackie insisted that he train his son in football.

Under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandsons Entertainment Pvt Ltd (NGEPL), 'Heropanti' is directed by Sabbir Khan, and stars debutante Tiger Shroff in lead role. It is slated to release on May 16.
