Tiger Shroff is flying high , literally.Even as he pays a hefty homage to his idol Michael Jackson in the  forthcoming Munna Michael, he also gets a chance to live out another idol’s life in the  Hindi version of  the season’s big blockbuster Spiderman The Homecoming.

“Youngsters specially kids below the age  of 12  love Tiger. We decided he was the best candidate  to dub for Spiderman.Even that anglicized diction helped because we wanted the desi Spiderman to retain his firangi touch,” says a source close to the development.

Tiger seems delighted with the opportunity to give voice to the newly-revived Spiderman played by Tom Holland.

Says Tiger, “It was half-a-dream come-true. Half, because I got to  speak for Spiderman. But I’d actually like to play Spiderman some day.”

Says Tiger, “I guess super-heroes work only when they fly in from abroad.”
