Salman Khan to portray a 70-year-old character in ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’?

Now we already know that ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ sequel, titled ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ is in the making and will be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. The film is now said to have a different story-line with the lead actors undergoing drastic changes.

Also, if sources are to be believed, this will be the first time that Salman Khan might play an older character on screen.

According to reports, Salman’s character in the film ages from 17 to 70 years. A source reveals to an entertainment portal, saying, “Ali Abbas has always given Salman something hatke to play. In ‘Sultan’, he played a down-and-out wrestler who struggles to get into shape and win. And now, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ will have Salman in a never-seen-before avatar as well. YRF and Ali Abbas don’t want the plot to be revealed yet and are keeping it tightly under wraps, so that the film doesn’t lose its USP. The sequel takes forward the story of Tiger/Manish Chandra/ Avinash Singh Rathore (Salman Khan), who is India’s top spy and an officer of the Research & Analysis Wing (RAW). The film will start from Tiger’s present and then, take his journey forward. TZH will highlight many emotional highs and lows of Tiger’s life and will have equal doses of emotion and action. It will release on Eid in 2018.”

It was also said earlier that the sequel is inspired from a Korean spy drama, but a YRF source denied any such reports, saying, “It is not true. The script is still being worked on.”

The movie is also said to have Katrina Kaif as the lead actress, but there has been no confirmation on the same.
