Salman Khan NOT playing a 70 year old in Tiger Zinda Hai, confirms Katrina Kaif! Salman Khan is reuniting with ex girlfriend Katrina Kaif for a movie after 4 years now. The film in question – Tiger Zinda Hai is the sequel to their HIT movie – Ek Tha Tiger. A lot of buzz surrounds the sequel and while a lot was said about Tiger Zinda Hai, the most prominent report that surfaced was a rumour suggesting Salman Khan would age in the film and will be seen as a 70 year old.  Everyone was excited to hear this as Salman rarely plays the role of an older man. However, looks like all these reports were false…


In an interview with DNA, when Salman’s co-star Katrina was asked about the report, she revealed, “That’s entirely wrong. He does not age at all. The film is set in today’s times. It’s set in one time period. There’s no aage-peeche at all.” In fact, Katrina even revealed that Tiger Zinda Hai was a perfect sequel and would start from where it left off. As she added, “Yes, it’s a sequel in the correct sense of the term. It begins exactly from where we left off in Ek Tha Tiger.”
Katrina Kaif even mentioned how happy and excited she was to reunite with Salman for Tiger Zinda Hai. Talking about her ex, she mentioned to the daily, “It is going to be great for Salman and me to work together in Tiger Zinda Hai. And I’m really happy we are coming back with this movie. The sequel is possibly the perfect film for both Salman and me to do together now. We were the most comfortable on the sets of Ek Tha Tiger, as Tiger and Zoya. I think it worked well for us. It’s going to be interesting to be back on sets together. As an actor, he reminds me to never get complacent while working. To a person who watches his films — the bigger and more successful he gets, the harder he’s working and the better he’s getting at acting.” 
For those who don’t know, Ek Tha Tiger was in fact Katrina’s last big hit. After that she has had four back-to-back flops including Bang Bang 2, Fitoor, Phantom and Baar Baar Dekho. On the other hand, Salman has given blockbusters after blockbusters. His last three releases – Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and Sultan have broken most of the box office records. So, when Salman and Kat return for Tiger Zinda Hai, it will benefit Katrina a lot and will help her get her career back on track.
On the work front, Katrina is currently working along with Ranbir Kapoor in Jagga Jasoos, while Salman Khan is shooting for Kabir Khan’s Tubelight. They both will start shooting for Tiger Zinda Hai early next year and the film will release during Christmas 2017. Anyway, tell us what do you guys think about Katrina Kaif’s revelation about Salman Khan’s character in Tiger Zinda Hai in the comments section below!
