Salman Khan to play a 70 year old man in Tiger Zinda Hai?

Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai will see him play a 70 year old man for the first time in his career...

  

 

 

The actor will be seen as an old guy for the first time in his career during the Ek Tha Tiger sequel…

With the Ek Tha Tiger franchise changing hands (Kabir Khan directed Ek Tha Tiger, Ali Abbas Zafar is directing Tiger Zinda Hai), it would be but natural to expect leading man Salman Khan’s character to undergo drastic changes. It is learnt that the actor ages from 17 to 70 in the ETT sequel and effectively, plays an old man for the first time in his career. Shocking isn’t it?
Well our source reveals to us, “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.”

Reports suggest that TZH is said to be inspired from a Korean spy drama. However, a source at YRF says, “It is not true. The script is still being worked on.” And while, it is known that Salman Khan will be in the sequel, the makers nor the director has revealed whether Katrina Kaif will be in Tiger Zinda Hai or NOT?
Our sources had told us that with Katrina and Ali’s closeness, the director will surely sign her. In fact, Kat would also want to reunite with Salman and Ali for a film and so, she will be a part of the film too! The actress was busy at the Dream Team Tour 2016 when the announcement was made and post that, she was busy promoting Baar Baar Dekho. Now that she is free, we are sure she will sign the dotted link soon.

Meanwhile, Salman is shooting for Kabir Khan’s Tubelight in Manali currently along with Chinese actress Zhu Zhu. The crew have been facing difficulties with the rough climate, but they are still continuing to shoot even in adverse conditions. Commendable, isn’t it?
