Bollywood director Ali Abbas Zafar on Eid has announced about his next project “TigerZinda Hai”, the sequel to Ek Tha Tiger, featuring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif and ever since, fans of the 2012 espionage drama have looked in every nook and corner for details of the project.
In an interview with mid-day.com, Ali has discussed the film's probable plot, directing Salman and Katrina and stepping into his 'mentor' Kabir Khan's shoes. As for Katrina and Salman, he has said, they have done it once together, they will rock it again and they are both phenomenal and no one can be a huge star in this country if they aren't good at acting.
Ali has said he is writing spontaneously, going with his instinct and is focusing on telling a more relevant story for today's political climate and the characters are from the first part, but the story will be brand new and is targeting to take the film on floors in 2017's first quarter.
Ali has also said this time, the story will call for fancy locations and there will be a valid reason why the guys are in a new country. And his passport will come to some good use, so he has chosen to do the film because of the pressure of it and has added that directing Katrina and Salman in an instalment of a successful franchise is not easy. “Tiger Zinda Hai” is slated for to release in December 2017.
