Tiger Zinda Hai 2017

Tiger Zinda Hai (transl. 'Tiger is alive') is a 2017 Indian Hindi-language action thriller film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar and produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. It is a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and the second installment in the YRF Spy Universe. The film stars Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif who reprise their roles from the predecessor. Five years after the events of Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger and Zoya find themselves pulled out of hiding to save nurses held hostage by the ISC, a terrorist organisation based in Iraq. A sequel was conceived following the success of Ek Tha Tiger, but faced several delays after Kabir Khan, who scripted and helmed the prequel, refused to return for a sequel. Zafar was subsequently hired as the writer and director, having last worked with Salman on Sultan (2016); Misra, who had written the script for Ek Tha Tiger alongside Kabir, contributed to the story, which is inspired from the 2014 abduction of Indian nurses by ISIL. Filming took place in Abu Dhabi, Austria, Greece, and Morocco.
