Actor Sanjay Dutt has joined the cast of Tiger Shroff’s Baaghi 4. His entry to action-thriller Baaghi 4 was announced on Monday with a poster launch, infusing a fresh dose of excitement around the film.
On Monday, the first-look poster of Sanjay’s character was unveiled, which showcased the actor in his fierce and never-seen-before avatar.
The poster shows Sanjay seated on a throne, clad in blood-soaked clothes, with a lifeless woman in his arms, exuding a powerful mix of pain and rage.
“Every Aashiq Is A Villain,” the tagline on the poster read.
Sanjay Dutt’s rugged persona and commanding screen presence make him an exciting addition to the Baaghi universe. While the Baaghi franchise is led by Tiger Shroff, Sajid Nadiadwala has reportedly lined up a formidable role for Dutt, aiming to elevate the stakes in this fourth instalment.
Last month, the first poster of Baaghi 4, the fourth instalment of the action franchise, was released by the makers. The poster included the first look of Tiger Shroff as his famous character Ronnie.
The first-look poster showed Tiger, covered in blood, sitting on a commode in a dilapidated toilet. He held a machete in one hand, a bottle of alcohol in the other, and chewed on a cigarette while looking straight into the camera.
A body seemed to be lying on the floor in front of him while there was blood spatter on the walls behind. A ‘4’ was carved on the wall just above Tiger. The poster included the text: “This time, he is not the same”.
It was in 2016 when the Baaghi franchise began with Tiger and Disha Patani in the lead role. It earned Rs 129 crore worldwide and was Tiger’s first solo hit. This paved the way for the blockbuster Baaghi 2, which earned Rs 259 crore and saw the return of the two stars alongside Manoj Bajpayee.
Baaghi 3, which was released in 2020, had Shraddha Kapoor replacing Disha as the female lead and also starred Riteish Deshmukh. Despite its release being affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, Baaghi 3 earned Rs 137 crore worldwide.

Directed by A. Harsha, Baaghi 4 promises to deliver raw, man-to-man action at its best. With this fourth installment, Tiger Shroff cements his place as one of the youngest stars to lead a major franchise across four films. Baaghi 4 is expected to take the action genre to a bolder, more thrilling level.
The filming of Baaghi 4 is currently underway and the film will hit theatres on September 5, 2025.
