BELIEVE IT OR NOT: No Katrina Kaif, No Tiger Zinda Hai!
That's told to us by someone who held the reins of the film. He says that he couldn't have even envisaged Tiger Zinda Hai without the Ek Tha Tiger actress. Hear it from the film's director Ali Abbas Zaffar...
Isn't Katrina Kaif
looking super sexy these days, and of course in her upcoming film Tiger Zinda
Hai too? And mind you, she has a very important role to play in the film, so
much so that it will be just modest to say that she is an integral part of it.
We prove this with
an excerpt from our chat with Ali Abbas Zaffar, who has directed the
film.
Katrina Kaif
Q. If Katrina Kaif
would have not agreed to be a part of the sequel, who would have been your next
choice?
A. I think the
film would have not got made if Katrina was not there. She has an equal part in
the film (as much as Salman). It explores both of them as agents and that’s why
it’s a true sequel. She is as important as Tiger in the film."

For
those who've come in late, we had Ali talking quite a bit on SpotboyE.com
last night. He admitted to us that there is pressure that the film in
question does well at the box-office. The film's producer Yash Raj hasn't
had a nice hit since quite some time. Salman's last flick Tubelight didn't live
up to expectations. And of course, the film's prequel Ek Tha Tiger made by
Kabir Khan, had the cash registers ringing very loudly.

Ali also said in
the same interview that he has a very comfortable equation with Salman.
Sultan, which had
Ali and Salman collaborating for the first time, garnered huge response at the
turnstiles. It will be interesting to see if their second outing together is
equally impressive.
Tiger Zinda Hai
hits theatres on December 22.
