Ali Abbas Zafar on the pressure of ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’

Ali Abbas Zafar

Salman Khan will be reuniting with his ‘Sultan’ (2016) director Ali Abbas Zafar for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ and he’s recently spoken about the pressures the film has added to it due to the success of the prequel ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (2012).

“The main pressure is, when you get the chance to work with that star again, you need to up your game. You need to tell a story which is more relevant today. That’s important,” said the director to PTI.

Zafar went on to say, “Not only for anything else but also, if that star kind of trusts you so much to do something new to him, explore him in a newer way. Also the fact is that it is a big franchise, it was a big hit. So there is always a pressure to take that franchise ahead”.

The film, which also stars Katrina Kaif, will be against a political backdrop, “It is a sequel, but it’s too early to talk about it in detail. It’s a political espionage. It’s about spies, what is happening in the world today, where does India stand, what is right, wrong. It’s about all of that.”
