The entire Nirupa Roy sequence in the song Maa Sheronwali from the movie Mard is a combination of real tiger and stuffed tiger shots along with mixing techniques and camera angles.
Professional trainers are always present during the shoot. It is very clear that a real tiger was used during the shoot.
There are frames where Nirupa Roy and the tiger are shown together. This was mostly done in 80s Bollywood movies with the help of split screen or matte shot. Shooting two separate shots and making them appear as if they were in the same frame at the same time.
The scenes where the tiger is shown pouncing on the goons are shot using a stuffed tiger.
The scene where the tiger is pulling the flowing end panel of Nirupa Roy’s saree is a long shot which might have shot using a body double.
The Verma Brothers are credited with the Thrills & Fights (Pappu Verma being one of them).
