Actor Tiger Shroff says a lot of his fans are children and that's why he wants to essay clean and noble characters on screen.

"I am lucky that most of my fan following is made of kids, so I try to choose my characters accordingly. They (children) are the future of our country and I want to do very clean, noble characters so that I don't wrongly influence them through my films. It's all for my kiddy fans," Tiger said here.

Tiger will next be seen in Remo D'Souza's "A Flying Jatt" and said this is for the first time he is experimenting with action and comedy.

"I just hope critics appreciate my work in this film. This is for the first time I am experimenting with action and comedy. I think we have done a great job," he said.

"A Flying Jatt" will see Tiger portray a flawed Punjabi superhero who is still coming to terms with his powers. The film also features Jacqueline Fernandez and Nathan Jones.

About her role, she said: "The name of my character in the film is Jaya. She is a middle-class housewife who faces usual incompetence in her daily life.

Set in Kolkata, the film depicts the story of a contract killer, a housewife and a taxi driver.

"Its Pratim D. Gupta's (director) second film. We have been friends for long and I feel this film is an important film to be made in present times... The kind of society we are living in. I hope the audience is going to like the film. It's a thriller and a commercial film with a lot of songs," she said.

"Shaheb Bibi Golaam", a Bengali film with English subtitles, also stars Anjan Dutt, Ritwick Chakraborty, Parno Mittra and Vikram Chatterjee, and is slated to release on August 26.
