Speaking with a digital entertainment portal earlier this week, Shroff told the host that he had ‘auditioned’ for ‘Spider-Man’ and sent his tapes to the casting team.
“I had sent them my tapes, and they were quite impressed,” informed the Bollywood celeb, before he revealed his pitch to the makers.
He stated, “My pitch to them was that I’d save you a lot of money on your VFX because I can do most of what Spider-Man can do. I was quite close to being a part of that.”
Shroff further added, “I’ve had the privilege to meet a lot of esteemed people from there, and they seem to be very interested in what I do.”
“Ever since Jackie Chan, there hasn’t been a crossover action hero, per se.”
It is pertinent to mention that Shroff has had been a part of the ‘Spider-Man’ franchise despite missing his chance to be casted in the on-screen role.
