Telugu actor Sudheer Babu was cast as the villain, marking his Bollywood debut. | Tiger Shroff trained and took stunt classes for the film.<ref name="IE">{{cite web |title=Tiger Shroff is training hard for his upcoming film 'Baaghi' |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/tiger-shroff-is-training-hard-for-his-upcoming-film-baaghi/ |website=The Indian Express |date=18 May 2015 |access-date=19 August 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150627003807/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/tiger-shroff-is-training-hard-for-his-upcoming-film-baaghi/ |archive-date=27 June 2015}}</ref><ref name="TOI">{{cite web |title=Sajid Nadiadwala: The story of Tiger's Baaghi came from me |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Sajid-Nadiadwala-The-story-of-Tigers-Baaghi-came-from-me/articleshow/47510698.cms |website=The Times of India |date=2 June 2015 |access-date=19 August 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180124101639/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Sajid-Nadiadwala-The-story-of-Tigers-Baaghi-came-from-me/articleshow/47510698.cms |archive-date=24 January 2018}}</ref>Producer Sajid Nadiadwala hired a team of 50 people to keep Shroff’s look a secret, since his appearance in this movie was very different from his role in Heropanti.<ref name="TOI-Security">{{cite web |title=Sajid Nadiadwala provides additional security for 'Baaghi' |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Sajid-Nadiadwala-provides-additional-security-for-Baaghi/articleshow/47444150.cms |website=The Times of India |date=27 May 2015 |access-date=19 August 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160424100630/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Sajid-Nadiadwala-provides-additional-security-for-Baaghi/articleshow/47444150.cms |archive-date=24 April 2016}}</ref> Telugu actor Sudheer Babu was cast as the villain, marking his Bollywood debut.<ref name="IE-Shoot">{{cite web |title=Shraddha Kapoor, Tiger Shroff to start shooting for 'Baaghi' soon |url=http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/shraddha-kapoor-tiger-shroff-to-start-shooting-for-baaghi-soon/ |website=The Indian Express |date=27 May 2015 |access-date=19 August 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150531053818/http://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/shraddha-kapoor-tiger-shroff-to-start-shooting-for-baaghi-soon/ |archive-date=31 May 2015}}</ref><ref name="TOI-Shoot">{{cite web |title=Tiger Shroff's 'Baaghi' starts shooting tomorrow |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Tiger-Shroffs-Baaghi-starts-shooting-tomorrow/articleshow/47430670.cms |website=The Times of India |date=26 May 2015 |access-date=19 August 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160320003433/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/news/Tiger-Shroffs-Baaghi-starts-shooting-tomorrow/articleshow/47430670.cms |archive-date=20 March 2016}}</ref> | ||

The film Baaghi received mixed to negative reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes, only 14% of 7 critics’ reviews were positive, with an average rating of 4.3/10. Bollywood Hungama was among the few to praise the film, giving it 3.5/5 stars and calling it a “typical masala entertainer” with strong action and performances. However, most critics were less impressed. Mohar Basu from The Times of India rated it 2.5/5, saying the film had little beyond Tiger Shroff’s action sequences. Ananya Bhattacharya from India Today gave it 2/5, suggesting it was worth watching only for the lead pair’s action scenes. Rohit Vats from Hindustan Times also gave 2/5, comparing it to a rushed mix of The Karate Kid, Bloodsport, and Ong Bak. Similarly, Anupama Chopra from Film Companion rated it 2/5, commenting that the film caters more to fans of martial arts moves than to lovers of cinema. | The film Baaghi received mixed to negative reviews from critics.
