PANAJI, Nov 27:
His last film “Sultan” with Salman Khan went on to become one of the biggest blockbusters and now director Ali Abbas Zafar says he feels the pressure to deliver a hit again with the superstars’ forthcoming “Tiger Zinda Hai”.
The movie is a sequel to “Ek Tha Tiger”, which was the biggest hit of Salman at the time of it’s release in 2012.
While the first part was helmed by Kabir Khan the second installment will be directed by Ali.
The filmmaker says there is a certain pressure to live upto the 50-year-old actor’s trust, apart from taking the franchise forward.
“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,” Ali said.
“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.”
“Ek Tha Tiger” chronicled the story of an Indian spy (RAW) code-named Tiger, who falls in love with a Pakistani spy during an investigation. (PTI)
